Flesh (Andy Warhol)

REVIEW
A true artifact of the '60s sexual revolution as well as a great example of the quirky New York independent filmmaking that came out of the Warhol film factory. The film is an homage to the personality and body (with the emphasis on body) of Dallesandro. The plot is simply a day-in-the-life of gay hustler Joe who utters immortal lines such as, "How am I going to make any money without clean underwear!" The story is told in vignettes and features old Warholian favorites Darling and Curtis. There are priceless drug-induced dialogues throughout including the great philosophical thought, "The more you learn the more depressed you get."
