Description
Campbell's soup cans, drug addicts-turned-celebrities and a Day-Glo Marilyn Monroe: these are some of the groundbreaking images from Andy Warhol's artistic vision.

This program offers the definitive look at the life and creative world of a revolutionary who influenced the 20th century in everything from painting to film to music. Capturing the essence of Warhol's strobe-lit, amphetamine- fueled 60s "scene" are rare audiotapes and films from the Warhol Foundation Archives and recollections of friends and colleagues like Debbie Harry and Dennis Hopper.

Enter Warhol's fabulous inner circle, where both high and lowbrow converge beneath the banner of celebrity and everyone gets to be famous for fifteen minutes.

Too much information?

As an Art teacher, I purchased this to use with my students. It's definately an in-depth view, but perhaps a bit too in depth into Warhol's sexuality for high school age students. I would have preferred that the focus be more on the art than on graphic decriptions of his alleged sex life. Disappointing.

Without A Doubt One of the Best

Biography's and Documentaion of Andy Warhol. Please let there be More of the "Cheesy" PBS atmosphere in the film, as one reviewer remarked..And too i could Not either Remove myself from the couch while watching this Work of Art.. You know its going to be Good when you have Great interviews, especially art collector Dennis Hopper, and friend of Andy. This dvd is An amazing project done to Perfection..That im Sure, Andy would have Approved of. Its Something one could not fully grasp with just one viewing. Jam packed of things i Never knew existed. BUY THIS ONE for Sure.

Interesting and inspiring!

I bought this after reading a biography on Andy Warhol,
I found it very interesting to see the people I just read
about in video and fill in some details that the book might
not have covered, this is a really entertaining film, full of
footage of Andy at the Factory, making films and being
"Andy Warhol" It also turned me on to the Dandy Warhols
music for which I am very grateful!

There is alot of good footage of Andys art and his home and
posessions and even interviews with family members and a
look at the early life of a struggling immagrant family
and the gifted artist they raised who changed the world of art
and influenced the way products and personality's are marketed!
Recommended!

Informative but Generally Goofy

Although the film is really informative and offers a great anectdote about Warhol's supposed asexuality, the film has a cheesy PBS documentary feel to it. It's high art approach to Warhol's life and art seem opposed to his own intentions in his work. There's still some amazingly funny moments, all unintentional.
