Andy Warhol's Frankenstein: Review

starstarstarstar
This is a totally revolting, but nonetheless fascinating, spin on the Frankenstein legend. Andy Warhol had nothing to do with the production, other than lending his name to the title. Taking pains to break every social taboo, the film finds the crazed baron (played in delightfully hammy fashion by Udo Kier) tinkering with internal organs in his basement, assisted by his doltish servant, Otto (Arno Juerging). Obsessed with creating a master race, Baron Frankenstein constructs two creatures, male and female, hoping to breed them. When local shepherd Nicholas (Joe Dallesandro), notices his best friend's head on the shoulders of the male creature, he begins to smell a rat. Shot using Arch Oboler's Spacevision 3-D process (first used in BWANA DEVIL, 1952), WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN contains an unprecedented amount of explicit gore and spills it in viewers' laps. In addition to the grand guignol, the film assaults the audience with enough weird sex, eccentric performances, and black humor to last a lifetime. Although the script bears the unmistakable imprint of Warhol Factory compatriot Paul Morrissey, European sources credit prolific Italian filmmaker Antonio Margheriti with the direction. A companion film, ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA, immediately followed. Both films were originally rated "X" by the MPAA and then later changed to "R" for rerelease in 1982. leave a comment
