What can I say about this film that hasn't been said already? Well, if you add some Velvet Underground music to it, it makes a great music video. Also, John Cale put out a CD with music for this film and A.W.'s KISS. The film seems to change depending on what music you play to accompany it or if you just watch it silent. Like A.W.'s other "screen tests", the face seems to change if you stare at it for any length of time. So A.W. was taking the portrait to a whole new level. It's one of those simple yet profound ideas that had many artists saying "Now why didn't I think of that?". It's not hard to imagine an art gallery event with films like this playing on flat screen TVs while people mingle and music plays in the background. So rock on Andy Warhol!
