Review

Focusing on the exceptional life of Andy Warhol, this idolatrous, entertaining documentary probes not only his phenomenally exceptional career as a conceptual artist, filmmaker and publisher, but also takes a gossipy peek into the Studio 54/Beautiful People club scenes that Warhol reveled in. From his childhood upbringing near Pittsburgh and his schooling at the Carnegie Institute of technology, through his Factory days and finally to his unusual position as pop icon, the film is well-researched and features interviews with such diverse characters as his farmer brother and aunts, Dennis Hopper, Sally Kirkland, Liza Minnelli and Viva. A celebration of an enigmatic man and artist whose fascination with fame, beauty and soup cans earned him a remarkable place in 20th-century art.
