A Walk into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007)
Director: Esther Robinson
Movie review
From Time Out New York
Films about Warhol’s crowd are being churned out on their own Factory line. A lovely addition to the portraits of hopped-up hams Edie Sedgwick, Jackie Curtis and Brigid Berlin is Esther Robinson’s touching, incisive look at a far more peripheral figure at Andy’s studio: her uncle Danny Williams, a filmmaker and Warhol’s lighting designer and lover who disappeared in 1966. Soliciting provocative answers from both her own family and Drella’s crew, Robinson asks Berlin her most piercing question: “How did Andy show love?” But no interview could trump the unearthed footage from Williams’s own shimmering films, seen publicly for the very first time.Author: Melissa Anderson
