Warhol’s double-screen masterpiece The Chelsea Girls offers an unparalleled glimpse into New York’s late-1960s underground scene. Among Warhol’s most commercially successful films, it’s also one of his most experimental and ambitious—created with his signature technique of assembling complete reels of unedited film in various ways. With Velvet Underground singer Nico (born Christa Päffgen), Eric Emerson, Ari Boulogne, Ondine (actor Robert Olivo), Ingrid Superstar, and other regulars from Warhol’s studio, the Factory. (204 mins., digital video)
