Trash (1970)
Member Rating:  
This Andy Warhol production finds Joe Dallesandro as Joe, a lice-ridden impotent junkie who lives with Holly (Holly Woodlawn) in a Lower East Side slum in New York. Holly is a transvestite who spends time collecting trash, going to the Fillmore East, and cruising for sex. Joe is only interested in his next fix, and graphic displays of needles piercing flesh and degrading human situations deglamorize drug use better than any board of education film or public service messages. Jane (Jane Forth) is the acid casualty housewife who listens to Pink Floyd. Male and female nudity and masturbation are featured. The color process is not credited, but technical aspects are better overall than most previous Warhol productions. Woodlawn was the inspiration for the Lou Reed song "Take a Walk on the Wild Side." ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Bad acting, camera, and story. Interesting commentary in special features. It points up how this 'comedy' does a better job of revealing actual styles of that era quite by accident as opposed to contrived films from that time or made later that intended to depict that era. What you see is a group of Warhol's associates/friends make a movie without putting much effort into it other than showing up and acting stupid with their clothes off most of the time. But, you can pick up a very clear sense of attitude and styles of the day even though they are being interpreted through a small group of limited losers. This film is basically just another one of Warhol's odd experiments at film making. It is oddly arousing in some ways to watch stupid people acting stupid naked. That's the best I can make of this.

...another unscripted, out of focus mess by Paul Morrissey. A lot of nudity but a horrible movie.

This is an awful movie. But there are two reasons to reccommend. 1.) In the directors commentary (in the "extras" menu) Director Morrissey talks about how these kind of low budget films actually capture an era better than Hollywood movies...Trash has alot street scenes,slang and clothes of late 60's New York...Cool and very authentic. So if you want a glimpse of this era of New York City that is long gone...this is a very cool historical document...2.) You're a Joe D'allesandro fan...He naked alot...If that grabs you, it's worth renting to see a very handsome guy in the full flower of his youth...

Another movie about a junkie. This guy seems to have women throwing themselves at him, but he can't get an erection. What a disapointment. Loads of nudity(man and women full frontal), strong sexual content, and drug use. The best part of the movie is when he can't get it up so his girlfriend f's a beer bottle. Other than that not too much action =;)

Trash was TRASH. I had never seen an Andy Warhol movie and I never want to see one again. Don't waste your time renting this.
