I love Warhol's films. There's an abstract, blank quality to this film especially, like 'here's a movie--watch Gerard and Ondine, or watch the guys in the back torturing the kid, or don't watch anything. But we're going to carry on.' I love the attitude and the conceptualization of the film, that one can make a film with bare bones, no real set or props. You can just forget the story and dance, part of the time. I love it.
The only real problem I have with this is HOW American it is like they use none of the Nadsat or any type of European culture influence at all. I wont rip on the bad acting and low quality of the film as a whole cuz....its Warhol. But He was obviously a fan staying true to scenes from the book tht Kubrick didnt do like the book scene.......I think Singin in the rain is a bit better then Nowhere to run though......but they could havew a cool dance off Alex and.....this guy?
@klbasey You know, they can't really be compared like that. Of course, obviously Kubrick was a much greater filmmaker. But this is something completely different. It's underground art.
@klbasey Warhol's end was not to amuse or entertain us, but to make circular arguments about culture and its relation to consumption, beauty and artifice. Undoubtedly Kubrick was the superior cinematic craftsman and greater observer of the human condition. But Warhol's intentions and aesthetic profoundly changed first world culture forever and fed into the no-wave movement. You may not dig it, and that's understandable, but this is part of the DNA of the American pop landscape.
oh yeah-the young man with the swimmer's build and the Adonis-type hair dancing uninhibitedly in a white tshirt and chinos-you know this turned Andy on-lol-I'm sure he was drooling-who says white people cant dance?

Well... In retrospect this guy's dancing totally redeemed the whole film. 3:50-9:00
