Andy Warhol的艺术作品以通俗/庸俗见称，可以把罐头汤当作画的主题，把玛莉莲梦露画得色彩斑烂。Warhol监製的着名乐队Velvet Underground所唱的歌曲的主题都围绕着毒品与颓废生活。而由他出品，Paul Morrissey执导的电影，亦是不惶多让，例如描写的是一个牛郎似的颓废男子的生活，好逸恶劳，终日游手好閒，吸毒，在垃圾堆中过着垃圾般的生活。而里的男主角更是正宗牛郎一名，在日落大道的一间旅店中，先与旅店老板娘搭上，再勾搭一妙龄少女，又与少女的过气女星母亲打得火热。最后牛郎毅然离开这位中年妇女，她气愤得要用枪杀死他……就在日落大道上活生生的演一次<日落大道>。这位牛郎是Joe Dallesandro，是肉热渣三片的男主角。我不知道Andy Warhol与Paul Morrissey是否gay的，但肯定他俩有其中一人是"greek greek"地的，不然不会经常把Joe哥的肉体赤条条的暴露在观眾面前，而这位Joe其实也的确有做牛郎的条件。以前的电影从来只会把女性的肉体呈现在电影上，成为观眾的慾望对象，Andy与Paul这系列电影却一反传统，转而展现男性肉体，其暴露的程度比<午夜牛郎>尤甚。无容否认的是他们走在时代的尖端，勇於颠覆当时的道德界限，刻意的触怒卫道之士。这系列电影除了调戏舞男，还要向你展现地下人类与其生活，人妖、同性恋、妓女、脱衣舞孃、过气女星、痴肥人种(貌似John Waters电影里的Divine)，更肆无忌惮地公开展示做爱、自慰与吸毒的场面。而其实片中的所有演员都如癮君子般，说话如白痴，行动如丧尸。这很可能是导演Paul刻意製造的即兴效果，但最大的可能性是……这班人根本就是道友！你可能会见过有影评人评一些戏的对白冗长(例如伊力卢马的那些)，"冗长"这个字眼显然不适用於此两片，因为两片的对白有"一匹布咁长"，整套戏的场数不多，演员们就在各场里喋喋不休地谈了一个半小时，而讲的统统都是閒话家常的废话，没有耐性的观眾转去看《城市论坛》还可能没有那么气顶。但"一匹布咁长"的对白无疑是此片的一大特色。此片的特色还有16mm(甚至可能是8mm)的粗微粒菲林画面，有看小电影的感觉。里的过气女星，无独有偶，其实就是<午夜牛郎>里出现过的阔太，名为Sylvia Miles。而Joe Dallesandro是Warhol团体的成员，多年来做模特儿与演员，笔者翻查过资料，更得知Joe在苏德堡的里，做一个叫Uncle John的角色。苏兄不愧为一个cult片迷。Warhol的出品里，Velvet Underground与Paul Morrissey的作品都有的很重的独立性，以生活作艺术，贯彻DIY精神，简单易做，而且啟发性大。

Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
