Great look at a visionary artist, 1 May 2008
10/10

Everything that you need to know about Andy Warhol is in this two part PBS documentary. Like a lot of PBS documentaries, this is very well made and paints a great biographical portrait of Warhol and brings everything you thought you knew about him to more clarification.

This film follows the life and Andy Warhol. It starts off as a sickly young boy in Pittsburgh and his immigrant parents. We then see him as both a struggling artist and becomes a "superstar" painter and filmmaker. It also does cover of his near assassination in June 1968 by Valerie Solanas.

You get to see insights from the surviving members of The Factory, since most of them died of overdose in the 60s and 70s. To sum it all up, ANDY WARHOL: A DOCUMENTARY is something that anyone interested in Warhol must see.
