TREND SETTING LOW BUDGET CINEMA

Paul Morrissey was Andy Warhol's resident in house filmmaker and prime mover on his non art related activities, as The Vevet Underground's John Cale said "Paul was the muscle-he made things happen.." His films were the most successful to appear under the Warhol moniker and launched Joe Dellasandro as an international sex symbol and pop culture icon.

The doco 'Factory Days' is a fascinating look back at Morrissey's time with Warhol. It's full of never before seen photo's and entertaining anecdotes and info. Much has been said of the filmmakers bitterness and distancing of himself from Warhol over the years, and it's hinted at in the by the cumugeonly New Yorker's narration, But it's still a must see for Warhol fans.

great

For a fan of the Factory-era works of the artists of the Warhol Underground this is a great item. The movies all speak for themselves and to Paul Morrissey's avant-garde(for its time) film-making. They also speak to Joe Dallesandro's talent for getting points across with little dialogue and mostly action. May 12, 2007

Classic Paul Morrissey

These films are classics of the Paul Morrissey/Andy Warhol era. A great set. Get them before they go out of print again! April 4, 2007

Let the buyer beware

Perhaps I should have done some research before I bought the 4 disc set, but I was surprised to find these to be so disappointing. I had read Holly Woodlawn's book, "A Low Life in High Heels", and thought I would get more of a feel for all of the book's hype about Paul Morrissey and Andy Warhol and the movies they made. I just didn't know what I was getting. I wasn't misled by anyone. I suppose if you are a cult fan of PM & AW, you should have these for your collection. I'll make you a really good deal.
