This Andy Warhol production finds Joe Dallesandro as Joe, a lice-ridden impotent junkie who lives with Holly (Holly Woodlawn) in a Lower East Side slum in New York. Holly is a transvestite who spends time collecting trash, going to the Fillmore East, and cruising for sex. Joe is only interested in his next fix, and graphic displays of needles piercing flesh and degrading human situations deglamorize drug use better than any board of education film or public service messages. Jane (Jane Forth) is
the acid casualty housewife who listens to Pink Floyd. Male and female nudity and masturbation are featured. The color process is not credited, but technical aspects are better overall than most previous Warhol productions. Woodlawn was the inspiration for the Lou Reed song "Take a Walk on the Wild Side." ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
These characters may be easily dismissed as 'garbage'...but because of the frankness in Morrissey's moviemaking..., the film remains with you long after the oddness has worn off.
Strung out and naked on the Lower East Side. I think we've all been there.Before you lose your mind eating up Lil' Joe Dallesandro's juicy fine figure - remember, the guy is like 5' 3". I guess that makes me a hater.
Although this one has more of a story than Flesh, Dallesandro plays the same Joe he plays all the time, and sits around naked for most of the movie as usual too. Not bad, but not good either.
