I Shot Andy Warhol

Opens Friday, June 12, 2026

New 4K Restoration! 30th Anniversary!

One of the great indie debuts of the 90s, Harron’s curiously moving portrait of the notorious Valerie Solanas (a note-perfect Lili Taylor) captures the outsider feminist revolutionary infamous for her S.C.U.M. Manifesto (an acronym for The Society for Cutting Up Men) and her attempted assasination of the king of Pop Art. With Jared Harris, Martha Plimpton, Michael Imperioli and, as Candy Darling, Stephen Dorff.

 Grand Jury Prize, Sundance, Un Certain Regard Award, Cannes

“If you want to know what the Warhol scene was all about, this is even better than the documentaries.”- Jonathan Rosenbaum, The Chicago Reader

“Scrappy, vibrant, unexpectedly touching…This film’s extraordinary centerpiece is Lili Taylor, giving a great, funny, furiously alive performance.” – The New York Times
