Ric Burns' Andy Warhol Documentary on PBS

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Ric Burns' Andy Warhol Documentary on PBS

Post by newlacesleeves »

Has this already been discussed in here? Anyone have any thoughts on it?

I really dug the first half, as it really highlighted all his commercial work which I feel is absolutely brilliant.. The second half was a bust though, and I felt Laurie Anderson's grating voice really took away from the whole experience, not to mention that we never actually hear Andy Warhol in his own voice, it's just Jeff Koons' bad impersonation..

Overall, I think it could have been a whole lot better.. Only about 3 people were interviewed, and none of the characters at the factory, or even Lou Reed for godsakes..
