Movie Reviews of Ciao! Manhattan
Movie Review: Decadance
Summary: 1 Stars
Edie Sedgwick was an emotionally disturbed ,beautiful young woman who was exploited sexually because of her money and emotional vulnerability.The characters from Andy (gross)Warhol"s 'Factory"are a ghastly crew of decadent freaks with serious mental and substance abuse issues and confused sexual identity.There are orgies in this piece of trash.Poor little Edie Sedgwick is six feet under because of drugs.And no matter how you look at it that's not cool.Bob Neuwirth is particularly creepy!He's not in the film but he sex-ploited Edie among other things.
Summary of Ciao! Manhattan
Ciao! Manhattan parallels Andy Warhol Factory star Edie Sedgwick's glory days in the late 60's through her inevitable downfall and the tragic addiction that would take her life only weeks after filming wrapped in 1971. The DVD includes never-before-seen bonus footage of Edie, interviews, a photo gallery of Edie's life, and much more.Fact and fiction collide in the cult classic Ciao! Manhattan, which was billed as "the film that wrote itself." The unexpectedly poignant tale is based on the life of "Superstar" Edie Sedgwick, who plays a drugged-out former model named Susan. In Southern California, she lives in her wealthy, pie-obsessed mother's swimming pool and recounts her glory days in Manhattan to a Houston drifter (Wesley Hayes). John Palmer and David Weisman began filming in New York in 1967 and kept shooting for the next five years, even as Sedgwick moved West, grew out her hair, got breast implants, and spent time at a variety of mental institutes. The 1970s present is in color; the 1960s flashbacks are in luminous black and white. John Phillips, Richie Havens, and others provide the period-perfect soundtrack. Confusing at times, but always entertaining, Ciao! Manhattan is a must for fans of Head, Trash, and all things weird, wiggy, and Warhol. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
