Synopsis

1974 experimental short film based on Andy Warhol by Japanese director and video artist Toshio Matsumoto, with score by Joji Yuasa.

Director

Toshio Matsumoto

Toshio Matsumoto (born March 25, 1932) is a Japanese film director and video artist. He was born in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan and graduated from Tokyo University in 1955.

His first short was Ginrin, which he made in 1955, however his most famous film is Funeral Parade of Roses (Bara no soretsu). Funeral Parade of Roses influenced Stanley Kubrick’s film A Clockwork Orange heavily. The film was a retelling of Oedipus Rex, featuring a transsexual (portrayed by Peter) trying to move up in the world of the Japanese gay bars.

Matsumoto has published many books of photography and is currently a professor and Dean of Arts at the Kyoto University of Art and Design. He was also the President of the Japan Society of Image Arts and Sciences. —Wikipedia

i think maybe we should abolish genders and replace them with an equal share of Maos and Andies happily living together and growing mushroom clouds.

serialized Warhol, that is what we need for redemption! if W. is a household name, why not be a household item too? letting him die just like that, without stashing a dozen Andies in a garage, just in case, was a counterproductive insanity. and hey! if u're not on yr way to adjust yrself to think like andy, dress like andy, see like andy, u have a problem and definitely living in an age predating Kubrick`s monolith!
