Factory Girl


The biographical film on Edie Sedgwick, staring Sienna Miller and Guy Pierce as Andy Warhol tells an intriguing and controversial story of the pop art in the 60's. It concentrates on the premise that being famous is more than anything else, and for an eccentric filmmaker is enough to use a celebrity to make money out of his art. I got engaged with it, moreover started reading about the people whose characters are built on and developed. Apparantely the facts are a bit more different than what is presented in the movie, but that's what it takes to raise the interest to watch it. "The Factory" is Andy Warhol's studio for filmaking, graphic art and painting. As a whole the film looks really good, amazing cinematograophy, especially when they use the black and white shots. Furthermore, the art department has done a great job with the costumes, jewelry and the image of the characters. Everything is exactly in a graphic art style and looks wanderful. I think this is the first film I watch with Sienna Miller in it, and so far so good.
