Factory Girl

The factory girl tells a true story about rich, glamorous and beautiful girl named Edie sedgwick, who moves to New York, to find a new life full of inspiration. She meets Andy Warhol, a controversial artist at the time, who invites her to be in his movies at his 'bohemian paradise', the factory. She immediately accepts and becomes engrossed in a life of fame, sex, drugs and rock and roll. She finds love too, but becomes torn between these two lives and regrettably stays with Andy and her life begins to spiral out of control.

Sienna Miller plays a very convincing role of Edie, and conveys the reality of a celebrity obsessed culture. I found the filming itself exciting as it managed to physically take me back to a realm of what it might have been like to go to the Factory. Edie also conveys her character through the clothes that she wears. There is one part in the film where she talks about how she would wear leggings whilst dancing each day. She was too lazy to take them off, and so became an accidental fashion statement therefore showing that inspiration can pop up in front of us without us looking for it. Despite Edie's short lived life and her vulnerable/ fragile side, she puts herself out there for everyone to notice and made a distinct impact for many girls to aspire to.
