Featured review
Daring...but probably not a film to show your mother.
This short Andy Warhol film can be found in "American Film Treasures/Avant Garde Film: Disc 2"--a compilation of mostly forgotten art films of the 20th century. This DVD set is NOT for the casual viewer and sometimes I wonder why I watched the films--as some of them were VERY artsy and weird!
Like most of Warhol's short films, this consists of a closeup shot of the subject and lasts about 4 minutes. Nothing that exciting happens here, but I did like that the film was deliberately daring and controversial--with a transvestite (the self-named Mario Montez) eating and licking a banana. I am sure it shocked a lot of folks because of its sexual innuendo and continuing focus on nothing else but Montez. Not a great film but I would LOVE to have seen the audience's reactions to it!
