Avis sur le produitI Shot Andy Warhol (DVD, 2001, Avant-Garde Cinema)

Warhol through a feminist lens-- unkind and revealing

I have heard Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground lambast this film as sensationalist and irresponsible-- indeed, how can one paint a sympathetic portrait of a woman who tried to kill a man? Of course Reed has often had a bone to pick with strong women in his circle (Nico, anyone? She sings much better thatn you, Lou, let her lead the band.) And with all of the tired and slavishly worshipful films coming out that glorify Warhol's Factory scene, this is the only one that dares to assert that many of the artists involved with that hallowed movement simply did not like people, preferring ideas, style, drugs and poses to actual human contact. The Factory scene as typified by Warhol himself is condemned as particularly hateful towards women.
This is where our "protagonist", Valerie Solanas (she who shot Andy Warhol) comes in. Brilliantly portrayed by the always underappreciated Lily Taylor, Solanas puts a feminist jack boot in the face of Warhol's affectations and preference for femininity over womanhood. When Solanas says to trannie scenester Candy Darling (another awesome performance by, can you believe it, Steven Dorff)that Andy keeps him/her around precisely because he hates women, we see director Mary Harron's revisionist pop art history at play. It is a revision that, in the eyes of this art fan, is very welcome. A great film, simply put.Lire l'avis complet...

I Shot Andy Warhol ( DVD, 2001)

I purchased this product because it was recommended to me by a Professor at UCLA's Theatre, Film and Television( TFT) Film School. The recommendation was for me to study the Director Mary Harron, an underrated and extremely talented Director.

Herron's Avant-Garde film did not disappoint. Herron takes artistic risks, to keep her Director's Vision focused and puts it on the Silver Screen for audiences.Lire l'avis complet...
