I actually have this film on 4 separate DVDs--full frame, not the half-frame, split screen bootleg. If you had two tvs, side by side, and two dvd players running in sync, you could watch a facsimile of the original theatrical presentation. I have a ton of Warhol's work, including the complete version of Sleep.

Ever heard of Nicholas Ray's We Can't Go Home Again? It's overtly influenced by Chelsea Girls, and probably the most radical film ever made by a mainstream Hollywood director (Ray directed Rebel Without a Cause with James Dean, among other classics). The final print of the film was made by constructing a huge projection screen on a soundstage and mixing the film in a sort of "live performance", where multiple reels (sometimes up to 5 simultaneous images--35mm, 16mm, 8mm, even video) were projected simultaneously. Audio overlaps, images overlap, reality and fiction blur (Ray plays himself in the film, and his film students are the other actors--he overtly portrays himself as a representative of the old guard among a suspicious, younger generation unsure of what he has to offer them).

D:!!!
Screw Cremaster, send me that. D:... svp? <3
Where'd you get that? Just a lucky find somewhere? What did you think of Chelsea Girls?

I haven't!... That film sounds really cool! I was pretty fond of Rebel Without a Cause, and I'm always up for really experimental stuff (Actually just got out of Chantal Ackerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles ). More funnies from the IMDb page: For plot keywords it has a spoiler-warning on it, but if you roll the cursor over it, the only plot keyword is "independent film".
