Ostensibly a documentary about Andy Warhol Factory girl Edie Sedgwick, this film is more like a scripted drama in which all the actors play themselves. Originally only superficially a chronicle of Edi...( read more  read more... )e's days at the Factory, Ciao! Manhattan has become one of the most insightful looks at New York's "Silver Sixties" period and the horrible fallout that followed. Shocking, entertaining and moving, it's a seminal piece of 1960s cinema.

    A very sad account of the model/dancer
    and Girl of 1965. It started in 1965 and resumed in 1970. It shows Edie's life through a character called "Susan" It simply shows her rise as a Youthquaker wearing tights and striped long shirts and long earrings and a model for Vogue to a...( read more)n institutionalized zombie like (from her shock treatments)person and on loads of Tuinal by 1970 where a combination of Tuinal and alcohol finally killed her (accidental). But the parts from 1965 show a vital Edie whom I prefer to remember.
