Lili Taylor plays SCUM Manifesto author Valerie Solanas who, in a fit of rage about her work being appropriated for profit, tried to assassinate the artist Andy Warhol in 1968. This was the first feature directed by Mary Harron and has an all-star cast as real Factory-era figures. It also features a ’60s-by-way-of-the-’90s soundtrack featuring many popular musical artists.
