You Can Now Watch All 3 Hours of Andy Warhol’s ‘Chelsea Girls’ Online - Newsweek initially praised the 1966 experimental underground film directed by Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey as the “Iliad of the underground”. Not all reviews were so favorable. Rex Reed said, “Chelsea Girls is a three and a half hour cesspool of vulgarity and talentless confusion which is about as interesting as the inside of a toilet bowl.” It was shot at the Hotel Chelsea and other locations in New York City, and follows the lives of several of the young women who live there, and stars many of Warhol’s superstars. It is presented in a split screen, accompanied by alternating soundtracks attached to each scene and an alternation between black-and-white and color photography. The original cut runs at just over three hours long.
