Andy Warhol's THE CHELSEA GIRLS released in a special edition 2 DVD + Book set
THE CHELSEA GIRLS, made up of 12 half-hour episodes, is the first of Warhol's experimental movies to become a critical and commercial success and to have broken through the confines of New York's underground world. It has an impact comparable to that of a Jean-Luc Godard movie.

It was made from June to September 1966 and shot live with meager resources. The scenes, as in all previous movies, were films in one take following the conviction that, if the camera was left pointed at interesting people something interesting would surely take place. There is no editing, a choice also determined by the kind of camera that was used by Warhol where the reel last 30 minutes and the sound is tapes directly on the film. This technique doesn't allow separation of the image and sound. THE CHELSEA GIRLS stars Angelina “Pepper” Davis, Eric Emerson, Mary Woronov, Gerard Malanga, Marie Menken, Bob “Ondine” Olivio, Patrick Fleming, Brigid Polk, Christian Aaron Boulogne, Mario Montez, Ed Hood, Albert Rene Ricard, Ingrid Superstar, Susan “Victor” Bottomly, Rona Page and Ari.
