BEAUTY #2
Andy Warhol USA, 1965, 66 mins.

As a painter, sculptor, cultural commentator, trend-setter, iconoclast, and avant-garde celebrity, Andy Warhol did more than any artist in the past fifty years to redefine art and its place in our culture. Yet it was as a filmmaker that Warhol created his most innovative and enduring work, virtually rein-venting the medium from scratch in his own Hollywood, the New York loft fittingly called The Factory.

This treasure-filled program offers two rare, delightfully candid and relaxed documentaries (Superartist, Andy Makes a Movie) showing Warhol at work in his loft and on location, as well as Mark Schwartz' Fifteen Minutes, a witty dramatization of a fictional encounter between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Andy Warhol that explores how much these megastars have in common. Lastly, Beauty #2, one of Warhol's most enjoyable films, offers a cinematic triangle with Edie Sedgwick taunting an off-screen interrogator while she halfheartedly attempts to make love to a young man in a hotel bed. - David Schwartz
