Blue Movie

Andy Warhol said, "I'd always wanted to do a movie that was pure fucking, nothing else, the way Eat had been just eating and Sleep had been just sleeping. So in October '68 I shot a movie of Viva having sex with Louis Waldon. I called it just 'Fuck'." "Fuck" was shot in October 1968 at David Bourdon's apartment in Greenwich Village. Although Viva and Louis Waldon do have intercourse in the film, they spend much of the time talking about the war in Vietnam, cooking food and taking a shower. The blue tint of the film was not planned but actually was the result of an error. Warhol had used tungsten (indoor) film but there was sunlight streaming into Bourdon's apartment, resulting in the blue tint.
