Synopsis
Factory Girl imaginatively unfolds the
comet-like rise and fall of 60s "it girl" Edie
Sedgwick, the blazing superstar who came to define
both the glamour and the tragedy of our
celebrity-obsessed culture. Sedgwick appeared to
be the quintessential American princess, with her
blue blood, her trust fund and her Harvard
education, not to mention her ethereal beauty and
vivacious charisma. But she was also a lost and
fragile little girl; and when she met up with
counter-culture anti-hero Andy Warhol, everything
changed. Suddenly, Edie found herself at the
center of a Pop Art universe bursting with sex,
drugs, style and rock 'n' roll -- and a mad rush
for fame and fabulousness that was destined to
spin out of control.
Arriving into the chaos of mid-60s New York, Edie
(Sienna Miller) is taken under the wing of the
famously deadpan artist Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce)
who sees in her untamed vulnerability the makings
of an irresistible muse. Warhol invites Edie into
the wild world of The Factory, a former downtown
hat factory he has transformed into a bohemian
paradise. Here, a rag-tag mix of musicians,
poets, artists, actors and misfits gather to
create avant-garde movies during the day and throw
glam parties all night long. Edie quickly ascends
to become the star of Warhol's movies, an idol at
The Factory and a media darling. She is on top of
the world when she falls in love with a
larger-than-life rock star (Hayden Christensen),
the man known as "the voice of a generation." But
when Edie becomes caught between Warhol's world of
sexy surfaces and her new love, she winds up
rejected by both - and once again, set adrift in
the modern world.
