Poor Little Rich Girl Part 3/7

BW/Sound/66 mins at 24 fps
Edie Sedgwick and Chuck Wein (off screen)
(filmed March-April 1965)

Andy Warhol:

"Whatever anyone may have thought, the truth is I never gave Edie a drug, ever. Not even one diet pill. Nothing. She certainly was taking a lot of amphetamine and downs, but she certainly wasn't getting them from me. She was getting them from that doctor who was shooting up every Society lady in town." (POP108)


Poor Little Rich Girl was originally conceived as part of a series of films featuring Edie Sedgwick which Warhol started shooting in March 1965 called The Poor Little Rich Girl Saga. It included Restaurant, Face, and Afternoon, as well as this film. The title is the same as a 1936 movie starring Shirley Temple who Andy idolized in his childhood. (FAW20)

The film takes place in Edie's apartment. Andy and Gerard shot two rolls (approx. 70 mins) of Edie as "she lay on her bed, talked on the phone and walked around her room, showing off her clothes and describing how she had spent her entire inheritance in six months." (L&D221)

When the rolls were processed, they were completely out of focus because of a problem with the camera lens. They re-shot the two long takes, adding it to the first reel so that the first 33 minutes of the film are completely out of focus as Edie wakes up, orders coffee and orange juice, smokes cigarettes does her excercises, takes pills and puts on make-up - all done in silence, except for the background music of an Everly Brothers album.

This thing is overly overrated, poorly made, cheap, creepy. Like sharing clip of me recording my gf doing shit naked with low resolution would make me a cult god. Wra, I hate Warlhol now that I seen such crap.

are ye actually watching each section, bit by bit?? Warhol made boring films on purpose- Empire is 4 hours of just the empire state building, sleep is 20 minutes of someone sleeping looped again and again.

He probably found it quite funny people watched them

the only thing i don't like is that because it's so out of focus, it's hard to tell what exactly it is she's doing... and i mean i get the whole "atrsy, out of focus, feels like you're watching a film" thing. i just want to be able to see what she's doing... >.>

@turbobielaaa walk right back - the everly brothers

[turbobielaaa]

what's the name of the song at the beggining?

[quaxk]

for those wondering how is it possible to shoot so much footage without realizing it's out of focus, they probably used a camera with a parallax viewfinder, to focus you have to estimate the distance and adjust according to the markings on the lens, that particular lens was obviously off for some reason

Rest in peace, darling. Edie is a goddess.

[rockvsrave]

it would be nice to get a script for what she is saying, and a track list would be even better!
