Not to be confused with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor’s kohl-eyed classic, director Michel Auder’s flick was a celebration of all things Andy Warhol circa 1970. Auder’s then-spouse Viva, a Factory regular, was the film’s titular star, with Warhol hangers-on Ultra Violet, Gerard Malanga, Taylor Mead and Andrea Feldman as fellow Egyptians, Flesh actor Louis Waldon as “Caesar” and a then-unknown Christopher Walken as “Boy.” From the use of snowmobiles instead of horses to Viva’s flat performance, there’s delicious ridiculousness at every turn of this rarely screened film, shown now in connection with the ICA’s “White Petals Surround Your Yellow Heart” exhibition.
