THE LOVES OF ONDINE
Andy Warhol, USA, 1967, 16mm, colour, sound, 85 min
Originally included as a part of ****, Andy Warhol’s 25 hour movie, The Loves of Ondine consists of a series of encounters between Ondine and various women who try to ‘adjust’ his sexual orientation, providing a platform for him to demonstrate his brilliant, misogynistic wit. Halfway through the film the story is punctuated by a notorious food fight sequence which was filmed in the house of Waldo Diaz Balart, brother-in-law of Fidel Castro.
