This is a wonderful, amazing, cool, strange movie. Dean & Britta were commissioned to sift through 500 of Andy Warhol's 4 minute 'screen tests' that he filmed in the late 60's and write and perform songs for 13 of them. Warhol often used 13 Most... as a theme for many of his performance or artistic pieces. The cd & dvd are both crazy good. I have watched the dvd twice, and you find yourself just staring at it, right into Nico or Edie's eyes as they stare at you. Two of the individuals chosen by Dean and Britta are Lou Reed and Dennis Hopper. The Lou Reed piece features a recently found Velvets unreleased song, I'm Not a Young Man Anymore. If you are unfamiliar with Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips, they were Luna, he was Galaxie 500. Here's Lou's screen test.
