  2006 Factory Girl - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills
Factory Girl follows Edie’s meteoric rise from art student to the top of the New York fashion scene.
Edie is drawn to Andy because "he's changed the way we look at the world", while Andy is utterly captivated by her energy, style and spirit.
At a sparse 90 minutes, it's no surprise that "Factory Girl" becomes remotely interesting in its last half hour when Edie begins to descend further into drugs.

  Factory Girl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Factory Girl is a 2006 film that started production in late 2005.
It tells the story of mid-sixties 'it girl' and Warhol superstar Edie Sedgwick, who will be portrayed by Sienna Miller.

Frequently the young girl calls for her older sister, but her condition is too precarious for her to stand the shock of the awful truth, and the nurses have told her that Gussie is injured in another hospital.
And up in the tenement room which Esther shared with three other girls, in the top of her little trunk, was found the unsealed letter that was to carry her Easter present to her far-distant parents a present that now was never to be sent.
As a girl, and even after her marriage, she had been a shirt-waist maker; she had seen the dangers from fire, from disease, from overwork, from underemployment, and she had joined every effort to secure some betterment of conditions.

At the center of this exciting and decadent new world is The Factory, Warhol’s downtown loft, a place where musicians, artists, actors and all types of misfits gather to create art and movies during the day, and to throw fabulous parties at night.
But unable to find the love she craves from Andy and The Factory Edie turns to the “voice of a generation” singer-songwriter Danny Quinn, a captivating and talented musician who represents everything that Andy is not - where Andy is all cool surfaces, Danny burns with the fire of his convictions.
Warhol is deeply stung by the revelation of Edie’s affair, and punishes her for her unfaithfulness by banishing her from the Factory.

 'Factory Girl'   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Sedgwick comes across as an increasingly sad waif, the "Poor Little Rich Girl" of Warhol's films, a woman who never recovered from her father's sexual improprieties and her mother's silence, and the deaths of two of her brothers.
"Factory Girl," directed by George Hickenlooper ("Mayor of the Sunset Strip," "The Man From Elysian Fields"), opens in 1970 and spins back to 1964 as Sedgwick moves from art school in Cambridge to Manhattan.
While the attention is on the Factory years, a key development in Sedgwick's short life came after, and it's reduced to a terse note on the screen.

 'Factory Girl' lacks pop but not pop psychology - USATODAY.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Miller raises the level of this superficial biopic with the force of her intense portrayal of the charismatic but troubled pop-culture icon.
The film posits that Sedgwick's downward spiral (initiated by her millionaire father's abuse of her as a child) switched into high gear when she met Andy Warhol and his glamorous and strange "Factory" of would-be artists and filmmakers.
Sienna Miller is engaging as the mod icon Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl.

 Factory Girl - Rotten Tomatoes
The best Factory Girl can muster is Oliver Stone on a budget, complete with shrill overacting, sloppy pacing, constantly changing film stock, distracting celebrity cameos, messy psychodrama, and bleary stylistic overload.
George Hickenlooper's impressionistic biopic Factory Girl is a strange little affair, and not a wholly successful one.
Hickenlooper likes to observe chaos and artistic extremes with a friendly eye, and there are hints all through Factory Girl of the shattering film it could have been.

 Joe Critic | Factory Girl
As a result, when I saw this film, I judged it based on its artistic and cinematic merits.
From the clips of Warhol’s work that are shown in the film, it seems that “Factory Girl” is actually made in a manner very similar to Warhol’s movies.
The Bottom Line is that George Hickenlooper’s “Factory Girl” is an intriguing biography of the tumultuous lives of Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol, which starts off somewhat fun but plummets with its protagonist to a sorry and unfortunate end.

 "Factory Girl" | We hardly get to know her at all: Movies: The Seattle Times
She starred in a few of Warhol's films, danced all night, did a lot of drugs, became a symbol of an era, spent all her money; in short, she burned her candle at both ends.
Too soon, she went from who's-that-girl to yesterday's girl: After the Factory crowd moved on, she spent some time in a rehab hospital and died of an overdose shortly afterward.
"Factory Girl" leaves its watcher with a vague sense of tragedy and wasted youth, but an absence at its center; ultimately, it's about a girl who nobody knew.

 Legacy, Factory Girl
The eponymous "Factory Girl" is another Sanders vocal, but I found this less impressive than "Stretched."
I feel a definite closeness to Legacy, maybe because of Paul Burgess' guitar playing, which is in a style which I like (I play like him, to give the ultimate compliment), and so I wish them much success.
In the meantime, Factory Girl is more than all right, but they can and will do better.

 Factory Girl by The Rolling Stones Songfacts
Drummer Charlie Watts: "On Factory Girl, I was doing something you shouldn't do, which is playing the tabla with sticks instead of trying to get that sound using your hand, which Indian tabla players do, though it's an extremely difficult technique and painful if you're not trained."
Guitarist Keith Richards: "To me Factory Girl felt something like Molly Malone, an Irish jig; one of those ancient Celtic things that emerge from time to time, or an Appalachian song.
I think she was in a number of Andy Warhol factory movies.

 The Lynching of Leo Frank by Denise Noe
A police officer claimed to have found Frank in a wooded area with a girl and that Frank had admitted taking her there for ''immoral purposes.'' This same police officer would later admit that he had made a mistaken identification, but this information did not appear on the front pages of the newspapers.
He stated that the superintendent told him that he had let a girl fall against a machine in the metal room and wanted him to bring her out of the room.
Conley quoted Frank as confiding, ''I wanted to be with the little girl, and she refused me, and I struck her and I guess I struck her too hard and she fell and hit her head against something.'' Conley further claimed Frank told him to go to the workroom and see how she was.

George Hickenlooper and screenwriter Captain Mauzner's shallow gloss on the rise and fall of Edie Sedgwick, glittering "It Girl" of Andy Warhol's 1960s crowd, fails to convey any real sense of time, place or — most damagingly — Sedgwick's appeal.

 Amazon.com: The Match Factory Girl: Video: Aki Kaurismäki,Kati Outinen,Elina Salo,Esko Nikkari,Vesa Vierikko,Reijo ...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The most compact and stylistically impressive of Aki Kaurismäki's perversely minimalist Finnish comedies, The Match Factory Girl stars his blond, blank-faced Garbo, Kati Outinen, as a downtrodden factory worker whose attempts to discover love and companionship are constantly thwarted by her possessive parents and a succession of cloddish, exploitative men.
Although the girl's plight is taken seriously, there is something in the extremity of the situations, and in the lovingly depicted hideousness of her Helsinki home life, that is irresistibly comic.
A rather dreary tale is told here about a homely,wallflowerish girl who lives with her parents and works in a matchfactory.

 Amazon.co.uk: I Hired A Contract Killer / The Match Factory Girl [1990]: Video: Aki Kaurismaki   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Match Factory Girl (have not seen the other film on this video) is bitter-sweet, almost wordless, very Finnish in atmosphere but not actual physical surroundings (the Finns I knew had never seen anywhere like the depressed places shown, a point made by another reviewer).
In spite of their apparent dourness, (and "dourness" is a criticism often unfairly levelled at Kaurismaki's work) both the main characters in the films, Henri in "I hired a contract killer" and Iris in "The match factory girl" are desperately struggling to live.
The first one is about a man who is made redundant and decides to kill himself, and the second one about a lonely unhappy girl who sleeps with a disturbingly emotionless man.

 Kino Film: The Match Factory Girl
Selected as one of the top ten films of '92 by Rolling Stone, Newsweek, and The Village Voice, The Match Factory Girl is Aki Kaurismaki's very dark, feminist comedy of murder and revenge.
The film follows the bleak existence of Iris, a young factory worker in Finland who is cruelly ignored at home, at work and at the dreary nightclubs she attends.
A new red dress leads to a one nght stand, pregnancy and a packet of rat poison which Iris does not intend to take herself.
