In a nutshell: ``It'' Girl Edie Sedgwick biopic tells us about a poor little rich girl but doesn't give us much of a reason to care, outside of her association with Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan.
Five teenagers--a vampire, a poor little rich girl, a schizophrenic, and two boys--are currently starving musicians in a garret, but they form a band and battle the chaos and teenage hormones because, of course, all the wrong people fall in love with all the wrong people.
In addition, Hainley has curated (in conjunction with the American Cinematheque) a run of double features titled "Andy Warhol Does Hollywood," which explores Warhol's variations on Hollywood themes by inventively pairing (among others) Warhol's Poor Little Rich Girl (1965), starring Edie Sedgwick, with the 1936 Poor Little Rich Girl starring Shirley Temple; and Warhol's My Hustler (1965) with John Huston's Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967), starring Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando.
