Vinyl (1965). In 16 mm, 66 min.

In conjunction with love fear pleasure lust pain glamour death—Andy Warhol Media Works and in honor of Gay Pride Month, SAM Films highlights a selection of early films made by Andy Warhol.

Warhol bought the rights to Anthony Burgess’s novel A Clockwork Orange six years before Stanley Kubrick made his Clockwork. Warhol’s film features Factory star Gerard Melanga as a juvenile delinquent who undergoes "reprogramming" by the welfare state, a process that reads as a metaphor for trying to convert gays into straights. Edie Sedgwick, added to a tableau for compositional balance, steals the movie.

Other films in this series include:
May 21: Chelsea Girls
June 18: My Hustler
June 25: Lonesome Cowboys

Members: $22.00
