Diários de Andy Warhol

Great portrait of Warhol and the world that surrounded him that I'll admit I'd didn't know much about. I'm very glad I got to see this. This film is free of sensation and a very respectful chronology of art and artist's relationship with people and the world.

I just had a vague idea of Andy Warhol's art and knew nothing of his personality. I thought several of the people interviewed were really insightful. A few were bordering on bitchy.

Jessica Beck, Glenn Ligon, Jay Johnson, Jay Gould all very interesting.

My only criticism is the timeline wasn't accurate in some episodes. They mention Rock Hudson passing (85 or 86) then suddenly its 1983 in Central Park at a Diana Ross concert. A small complaint, I know.

I wonder why Liza, Grace Jones and Diana Ross were not interviewed. I just assume they were pals at Studio54. Speaking of which, the video clips from that club were really cool.

Lastly, for someone old enough to remember the onset of the AIDS crisis, it was portrayed very accurately (in my opinion) and it also was gut-wrenching to kind of be transported back to that time. Definitely enjoyed the show and got a sense of who he was, personally.

Annoyed by the reviews putting this down. What planet are they all on?! 10 stars to this series. This is such a tender portrayal of his life and loves. There was much I did not know about him. The images bring his world to life and capture, with fleeting images, snippets and moments in time. A marvel of editing. I found this moving and hypnotic.

Wonderful.

A wonderful peep behind the curtain of a genius self centered manipulator. His self marketing has never been repeated. Unser the wig was a brilliant mind. All can learn from these diaries. Was Warhol a good human being ? No.

I had no idea about Warhol's life except for his pop and Campbell's art. This documentary shows the human side of the artist. His weakness, fears, insecurities for which his only outlet would've been his art. Like most people in the industry, his brilliance had a price to pay. I respect his art, even though I am not a fan I watched this with an open mind and learned so much more.
