I Shot Andy Warhol (US 1995)

Directed by Mary Harron
Featuring Lili Taylor

story: In 1968, the master of Pop art, Andy Warhol was shot by one of his admirers, Valerie Solanas. Based on a true story, from when Valerie reported herself to the police after gundown, the past till her deadly rampage.

point: Valerie is a self-acknowledged lesbian, and a radical feminist who wrote SCUM declaration that says, "every man must be wiped off." Challenging and standing alone in a men's world, she lost her mind. Casting of actors and actresses who look alike real individuals is hilarious. Accurate reproduction of the art scene of NY in 60s is a highlight.

The Watermelon Woman (US 1995)

Directed by Cheryl Dunye
Featuring Cheryl Dunye, Guinevere Turner

story: Cheryl is young, Black, and lesbian, working in Philadelphia. She was consumed by a film project: to make a video about her search for a Black actress from Philly who appeared in films in the 30s and was known as the Watermelon Woman. As she's discovering things about her, Cheryl becomes involved with Diana, who's White. A movie of documentary taste showing the process of film making.

point: Cheryl has triple handicap as minority; black, woman, and lesbian. The theme seems serious but given with hip hop music and humorous conversation among gay men and black men, the movie is lighter and funny. Fluctuation between real and unreal is interesting, in Cheryl overlapping the director, the Watermelon Woman realized to existing person, Fae.
