Bitch
1965 · 1h 6m
If you're a Warhol devotee or experimental film enthusiast, this lost gem is unmissable—it's a rare, unfiltered glimpse of bohemian life from a legendary artist. But if you want narrative drive or polished entertainment, skip it; this is a 50-year-old home movie of drunk people arguing, and it knows it.
Plot
“Andy Warhol called Marie Menken and Willard Maas ‘the last of the great bohemians,’ and, in 1965, made Bitch, his real-life parody of Edward Albee’s play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, with Willard and Marie sitting on the couch in their living room, drunk and arguing on a Sunday afternoon. Unscripted, shot with a stationary camera in his signature home-movie documentary style, Warhol’s Bitch has never before been seen by the public—until now…” (Philip Gefter).
