| The story of Valerie Solanas, the radical feminist and author of SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto who made headlines in 1968 when she attempted to kill Andy Warhol. I Shot Andy Warhol moves beyond the simplistic view of Valerie as a deranged lesbian acting in the revenge for being shunned by the Factory crows to present a complex figure whose brilliance and passion were clouded by mental instability and a history of abuse. | |||||||||||||||
| Mary Harron is a preppy, conservative-dressing woman who spent 10 years making documentaries for the BBC, but simmering beneath her khaki exterior was a frustrated punk who identified with feminist polemicist and would-be assassin Valerie Solanas, the protagonist of her debut as a feature-film writer/director, I Shot Andy Warhol. Harron wrote the script with Dan Minahan, whom she met when he worked at a production facility adjacent to the apartment where she roomed with RuPaul. Mary Harron also directs American Psycho, an adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' controversial novel about a Wall Street yuppie who moonlights as a serial killer. | |||||||||||||||
