Review of Ciao! Manhattan (1973) by Gordon P — 23 Mar 2015
Saw CIAO! MANHATTAN (1972) on TCM last night. Kudos to them for showing films like this--but it's a lousy film with a few good things. This is the experimental film blending a B&W film from the 60's and a color film from '72.
The script makes no sense and most of the performances are horrid (they dub an older actor with a weird carton voice). But there's some decent music and the fascinating freak show of seeing Edie Sedgwick, the Warhol Factory Girl, beautiful, fragile, stoned and falling apart.
She's interesting, but it feels exploitive to the max to watch her stumbling around with a shirt. 1 star.
