This documentary cracks open the meticulously constructed façade of Andy Warhol, exposing the complex figure behind the soup cans and Marilyns.
Director Tania Goldenberg traces the transformation of Andrew Warhola, a shy, churchgoing son of Pittsburgh immigrants, into the silver-wigged icon who redefined modern celebrity while deliberately maintaining a lifelong mask. Behind the iconic persona lay a quiet observer who chronicled glamour from the sidelines, turning mass-produced images into high art.
The film explores the paradox of an artist who claimed to be all surface while concealing profound depth. Newly released materials from the Warhol Foundation reveal his thoughts on fame, politics, and mortality. Essential viewing for understanding how Warhol's vision continues to shape our relationship with fame, consumer culture, and the very concept of originality.
