Movie Reviews of Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film
Movie Review: If Warhol knew how boring they made him seem!
Summary: 3 Stars
Quite disappointed with this documentary. Considering that I'm very familiar with Warhol and his life, I was surprised at how boring the makers of this documentary made his life seem. Worst aspect of the documentary was the droning voice of the female narrator, quite literally lulled me to sleep. What happened to the fun, flamboyance, the entertainment in Warhol's life!!!!!!!
Summary of Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film
He was the most American of artists and the most artistic of Americans one man later said so American in fact that he is almost invisible to us. ANDY WARHOL a riveting and often deeply moving film portrait of the most famous and famously controversial artist of the second half of the twentieth century is the first to explore the complete spectrum of Warhol's astonishing artistic output stretching across five decades from the late 1940's to his untimely death in 1987. Combining powerful on-camera interviews and rare still and motion picture footage it is also the first to put Warhol himself his humble family background and formative experiences in Pittsburgh and his crucial apprenticeship as a commercial artist in New York back into the presentation of his life.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating:?NR UPC:?841887051828 Manufacturer No:?705182Ric Burns' Andy Warhol is a four-hour pop-culture extravaganza that will retool what you think you know about the famed and oft-parodied soup-can painter. Delving deep into Andy's impoverished upbringing in Pittsburgh, the greatest success of Burns' film is its ability to delve deep behind the fa?ade of Andy Warhol, Pop Celebrity. Featuring interviews with an array of confidants from art dealers to artists (but, alas, no Lou Reed), Burns' film portrays an extremely insecure man who lived with his mother through much of the Factory years and constantly seeked a measure of fame akin to the Hollywood starlets whose photographs he tore out of the pages of Depression-era movie mags. Andy Warhol succeeded in achieving that fame, and along the way redefined how we think of art and culture. This film may very well redefine what you think of the man. -- Kristian St. Clair
