Chelsea girls

One of the first "underground" films of the 1960's to achieve a degree of mainstream acceptance, the film offers a long, unblinking look into the lives of Andy Warhol's retinue of "superstars" as they showed off for the camera in their various rooms in the notorious Chelsea Hotel, long a favored New York hangout for writers, artists and bohemians.
