I, a Man screening
2017-Oct-25 @ 19:30 - 21:06
The Dryden will screen I, a Man (Andy Warhol, U.S. 1967, 96 min., 16mm) as part of the Warhol series.
After the success of Warhol's film My Hustler, the theater where it was shown requested more "sexploitation" films, of which I, a Man is the first. Nico's friend Jim Morrison agreed to have sex on camera, but his manager nixed the idea, so he sent his pal Tom Baker instead. The conceit is the same as the successful Swedish film of the same year, I, a Woman, with the genders reversed. Baker tries to get it on with eight women, including Nico, Ultra Violet, Ingrid Superstar, and, most provocatively, Valerie Solanas. Famous for her feminist screed, The Scum Manifesto, Solanas would shortly afterward shoot Warhol. Here she shows her comic chops as she fends off Baker's advances on a dark staircase.
