Review of I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) by Ali A — 20 Apr 2006
This film has everything to me. Tragedy, absurdist humor, over the top dialogue, a notably beautiful tracking shot (inside the factory), absolute commitment from the actors esp. Lili Taylor who hits it out of the park in this role.
Characters that we rarely see portrayed in film are focused upon in a most unpredictable and cosistently interesting manner. I love this film. Mary Harron is one of the very few female directors contributing the the masses of films being made in the world.
( She also directed American Psycho) and her subject matters are not typically "female"...I mean they do focus on women...but she explores insanity and violence and is not afraid of the very black humor.
..and she has definately studdied her male counterparts works and manages to synthesize certain conventions into her own style very uniquely. blah blah blah haha..but I am serious I loved this. and totally respect this director.
