HORSE (1965)
Directed by Andy Warhol
105 minutes
"Staged at the Factory with a rented horse, this is a homoerotic parody of the Western genre. The acting out of Ronald Tavel's script (followed with difficulty from cue cards held up off-screen) takes place on a set crowded with evidence of the film's production: mounted lights, a boom mic, assorted onlookers, and the Factory doors and telephone all visible in the frame. The film may be shown with either two or three reels. The 'action' occurs in Reels 1 & 3; Reel 2, a 33-minute 'documentary' shot of the horse standing in front of the Factory doors, may be shown either in the middle or at the end of the film." –Callie Angell
