Fu

About This Movie

So, 'Fu' is this curious 1964 piece shot by Warhol, part of the Couch sessions. It's got a strange vibe, blending the everyday with the provocative, featuring Rufus Collins, Kate Heliczer, and Gerard Malanga in a rather unusual three-way dynamic. The pacing is languid, typical of Warhol's style, almost hypnotic, which really draws you into the scene. The interplay between the trio feels both intimate and raw, giving off an atmosphere that’s quite distinct for its time. It's interesting how it explores sexuality and relationships, even if in a somewhat nontraditional way. Definitely a film that sticks with you, if you’re into this sort of avant-garde exploration.

There isn't much available on 'Fu,' making it somewhat of a hidden gem in the Warhol collection. The film has limited distribution, which increases its appeal among collectors. Variants are few, and the original formats are particularly hard to track down, elevating its status in niche circles. If you're into Warhol's early work, this one definitely adds an interesting layer to the discussion around his exploration of sexuality.
