Women in Revolt, Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey


Women in Revolt, by Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey is a satirical look at feminist revolutionary groups. A twist to the film is that all lead 'women' in the film are actually played by transvestites (some more convincing as women than others!) It's filmed in a very haphazard way, the sound quality is awful, acting is dire and camera footage is jerky. This was intentional however and and is characteristic of all Warhol's films. The concept and hidden meanings behind the storylines are what Warhol wants viewers to focus on. Slightly pretentious but a welcome change from the polished look of Hollywood cinema.
