It's strange how such a strangely amazing film goes unheard

"I like doing movies because they're easier than painting." Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol is one of the finest artistic minds that we have ever & will ever witness. It was more than just the replications in "Dypitche", Andy illustrated ourselves to ourselves (which is a very hard thing to do. It goes much deeper than that...

Andy had a skill I can only hope I will learn with even half of his grace. He was able to make anything seem interesting if not only by his very eccentricity than by his appreciation at noticing other's beauty. None of which was explained greater than when he constructed this well known private film. It seems that it is most well known in fact for its not being well known. It is infamous for playing in uncrowded theaters to merely a group of 2 or 3 art students.

But that was the part of it that is interesting. It is not only a strange piece that goes well with many of his other pieces but it is an obscure marvel in itself. It's several hours of a man sleeping & that is it. It is a great film to watch for the thrill of it. Give it a try. If you can find a copy or a showing i emplore you, give it a try. You'll most likely regret it, but you only live once.
