FACTORY GIRL (2006)

GEORGE HICKENLOOPER

Plot

Arriving into the chaos of mid-60s New York, Edie is taken under the dubious wing of Andy Warhol, who sees in her untamed vulnerability the makings of an irresistible muse. Warhol invites Edie into the wild world of 'The Factory', where a rag-tag mix of musicians, poets, artists, actors and misfits gather to create avant-garde movies by day and throw glam parties at night. Edie quickly ascends to become the star of Warhol's movies, an idol at The Factory and a media darling, but, when she falls in love with a larger-than-life rock star, she is caught between Warhol's world of sexy surfaces and her new love, and winds up rejected by both. 'Factory Girl' is a nicely done dramatization of the rise and tragic fall of 60's "It Girl" Edie Sedgwick, star and victim of Warhol's "fifteen minutes of fame".
