Sienna Miller: A Movie Star Is Born Thursday, December 28, 2006 By Roger Friedman
There's about to be a lot of fighting over "Factory Girl," the most troubled movie of 2006.
But it's getting a one-week Academy Awards-qualifying run, starting tomorrow in Los Angeles. If you're out there, you shouldn't miss it.
Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce give truly great performances, and the movie — at least the version that's going to play now — works.
What about Andy Warhol? He was crass, commercial, mean and disloyal. Sorry, but that's the truth. He was smart about real estate.
The Factory — where no manual or menial labor took place — was a loft building in Manhattan where Warhol produced his magazine, Interview; his art (Campbell's soup cans, silk-screen prints of celebrities); and his semi-pornographic, crudely made movies.
Warhol came to New York from Pittsburgh and reinvented himself from Warhola, his real Polish last name, into a kind of vacuous pre-Paris Hilton who, instead of saying "That's hot," repeated the incantation "That's great."
He worshipped old money, old fame, power and venality. "Kids" — young people of age, not children — came and went from the Factory, and he used them for his own purposes. No one was paid for anything if he could get away with it.
Into this world came Edie Sedgwick, who was beautiful, young and wealthy, thanks to her abusive "old money" father. She was one of the few who didn't change her name and background story when she came to the Factory.
Everyone else around her did, though, and we meet them at the beginning of George Hickenlooper's uneven but nevertheless compelling movie. After all, this is where Andy's self-pronounced "superstars" like Ultra Violet, Viva and Paul Morrissey were born.
Hickenlooper is a documentary filmmaker with a lot of credits, including the short film that became "Sling Blade." But it's important to note that it was Billy Bob Thornton who directed the feature version of that project.
