The Devil Wears Prada Returns, 20 Years Later

0:00On April 29, in 1968, Valerie Solana shot Pop Art icon Andy Warhol at his factory studio in New York. She was a struggling writer who'd given him her self-published play, but he ignored it and wouldn't produce her work. Solana saw Warhol as controlling her life, just like all men in her eyes, boiling down her rage to a simple, because he's him. Her ideas exploded from the Suscomh Manifesto, a radical feminist text calling for overthrowing society and wiping out men, whom she called biologically. Inferior and driven by fear. It flipped old theories like penis envy on their head, becoming a key underground red amidst second wave feminism.

She hustled in sex work, slept on streets, and bounced through the art world where even progressive guys like Warhol treated her time as worthless, fueling her fury. Now, the 1996 film I shot Andy Warhol gets a 4K restoration, showing her story without the usual glitz, Warhol's factory as a cold.
