30TH ANNIVERSARY The scintillating fiction-feature debut of writer/director Mary Harron (AMERICAN PSYCHO) and one of the most controversial independent films of the 1990s, I SHOT ANDY WARHOL stars an electric Lili Taylor as Valerie Solanas, a militant feminist whose attempted murder of Andy Warhol brought instant fame to her radically anti-male “SCUM Manifesto.” Dropping out of graduate school in the mid-60s, the brilliant yet volatile Solanas survived in New York City as a destitute artist, sex worker and panhandler, soon striking up a friendship with Warhol superstar Candy Darling that brought her briefly into the orbit of the world’s premier pop artist. With vivid, hallucinatory attention to historical detail, Harron captures the explosive cross-pollination of New York’s political and artistic countercultures as well as the creativity, snobbery and decadence at the heart of the legendary Factory. Anchored by pitch-perfect performances — and featuring a blistering score by John Cale, as well as covers of ‘60s hits by some of the 1990s’ most iconic bands (R.E.M., Wilco) — I SHOT ANDY WARHOL is an incisive portrait of a rebel without an outlet and the soon-to-be-lost generation she came to define.
