Paul Morrissey was born in New York in 1938 and met the artist Andy Warhol for the first time in 1965.
Films such as “Flesh”, “Trash”, “Heat” and “Women in revolt” were made with a budget of less than 10,000 dollars. There was also no script, but Morrissey wanted the actors to improvise and let the camera roll, often for several hours on end.

Worked with amateur actors
With the help of amateur actors who Joe Dallesandro, Edie Sedgwick and trans people who Jackie Curtis, Holly Woodlawn and Candy Darling as well as other personalities from New York’s jet-set circles, Morrissey created a mixture of misery and melodramatic farce in films that captivated critics and, in some cases, audiences.
After his years at Warhol’s The Factory, Morrissey made films in Italy before returning to the US in the 1980s. His last film “News from nowhere” came in 2010.
Paul Morrissey died of complications from pneumonia at the age of 86.
