5.0 out of 5 stars Supposed to be Random, March 1, 2009
By S. Sharp (N. California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A previous reviewer has said that the film needed editing & was puzzled by the two projectors running at once. OK the film is an experimental format. It was intended to be different every time so two projectors were running reels in random order on each showing. Warhol wasn't into editing. The show has a lot in common with the psychedelic light shows of the rock concerts of the time. I worked on those a bit. They were moving collages of fluid projectors, old cartoons & slides. Chelsea Girls was supposed to be a less chaotic version adapted to provide a more conventional story line. Actually the point of the show IS the charismatic people he attracted. Conventional movies use the same type of charismatic people but placed into tableau based on the written novel & staged theatre. Warhol's approach was to discard the stories & concentrate on the people. He called his people superstars. Very few ever understood the concept & of course it's not very well suited to making money then is it.

4.0 out of 5 stars At times boring, slow, strange, unique, and in the end, absolutely fascinating...., November 3, 2007
I just saw this film at MOMI in NYC (that's the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City, Queens, Astoria for non-NYCers), and I was surprised at how much I liked it. The film (or films...this film is show with 2 projectors running simultaneously, showing something completely different on each projector) runs 210 minutes, but I was surprised how quickly it flew by once I settled in the Warhol groove. Having an editor on hand probably wouldn't have hurt. Some of the sequences are a bit too long, and I love long films, so my criticism isn't over the length of the film, which by Warhol's standards, is quite short (when you compare this film to Sleep, which is nearly 5 hours, and Empire, which is 8 hours), but I was nevertheless fascinated by what I saw. Warhol just filmed his friends/colleagues/stars of his circle at the time, and luckily for him, he had a talent for spotting really interesting, fascinating people, so it's not a boring film at all. Some of the sequences are quite startling (especially the ones in color), and the man/character who plays the "pope" is one of the best "characterizations" in the film. There is no real editing in the film. The takes are long, and there are some silly camera movements at times (pointless zooms, which look like mistakes at times), but overall it's worth seeing, especially if you're interested in the counterculture of the 1960's. If Andy and Paul Morrissey (who also directed, but isn't always credited) had cut it down to 2 hours or so, and played around a bit with the editing, they could have had an absolute masterpiece on their hands. Still, it's really quite a unique experience. I thought it was going to be a chore to sit through, but the opposite was the case. Thank you, Andy and Paul...

This is just a review for the film itself, not the imported DVD....
