Reviews for Chelsea Girls
At nearly four hours long, The Chelsea Girls offers too few rewards to the patient.
The dueling image visual feast is endlessly stimulating, even if you don't take the requisite drugs beforehand.
A film whose importance as a 1960s cultural statement outweighs any intrinsic value it may have as a film, Chelsea Girls is nevertheless fascinating, provocative, and hilarious.
The results are often spellbinding; the juxtaposition of two film images at once gives the spectator an unusual amount of freedom in what to concentrate on and what to make of these variously whacked-out performers.
Watching and waiting brought some amazing performances before Warhol's camera: Emerson's stoned monologue, Ondine's violent, sourly comic rant on being pope.
