Chelsea Girls (1966)
1/10
Andy Warhol's Home Movie

This is not a movie. It's an exercise in self indulgence. Whoever made this must have thought these people were interesting with interesting things to say and that everybody in the world would be interested in hearing them say it. Well, these people were not interesting and they had nothing interesting to say. At one low point, some lady injects something into some guys' butt and then her own butt and then answers the phone and conducts a lengthy conversation! The film is very poorly made, like the producers just found a camera and began learning how to use it. Many times, the camera zooms close up, the film blurs, scenes go light and dark. They didn't edit out anything, just let the camera roll. Finally, the sound quality is so bad that half the dialogue is unintelligible. I bet nobody in 49 years has actually sat through the whole 4 hours in one viewing. At least their next project, Flesh, had some nudity. Don't waste your time with Chelsea Girls.
