I Shot Andy Warhol

I Shot Andy Warhol--starring Lili Taylor, Jared Harris, Stephen Dorff, and Martha Plimpton--is the story of Valerie Solanas, the radical feminist and author of SCUM Manifesto (Society for Cutting Up Men) who made headlines in 1968 when she attempted to kill Andy Warhol. I Shot Andy Warhol moves beyond the simplistic view of Valerie as a deranged lesbian acting in revenge for being shunned by the Factory crowd to present a complex figure whose brilliance and passion were clouded by mental instability and a history of abuse.
