    A whole narrative movie consisting of a camera pointed at a random corner of Andy Warhol's studio, reducing a film down to the subsistence level, a camera which has been switched on and some actors doing stuff in front of it.

This time I went for a fan-made scan of a 35mm theatrical print, on a large 4K TV. This is the only way to watch this movie! The difference between the analogue and digital materials is once again invisible, as it would've been back in '93.…
