Back To Index I Shot Andy Warhol
 Barnes & Noble The swinging 60s, as seen through the narrow lens of New York Citys underground creative community, are chronicled in this dynamic, occasionally pretentious, but always compulsively watchable indie film. Its the story of radical feminist Valerie Solanas (vibrantly played by Lili Taylor), whose search for someone to produce her subversive, antimale "manifesto" leads her to pop-art icon and counterculture guru Andy Warhol (Jared Harris). Solanas abrasive personality and incessantly confrontational stance becomes too alienating even to the drugged-out misfits in Warhols "Factory," and after she is excommunicated from the group, Solanas seeks revenge. Director Mary Harron re-creates the Factory milieu with commendable accuracy, capturing the pervasive hipper-than-thou mentality of Warhol and his sycophants. The films red-meat sequences, pitting the agitated, hard-charging feminist against the meek, evasive artist, are positively riveting, thanks to the faultless performances of Taylor and Harris. The DVD release of I Shot Andy Warhol will find favor not only among those who fondly remember the 60s, but also among viewers born too late for that heady era.
