"Part 1 of the documentary Andy Warhol delves deep into his impoverished upbringing in Pittsburgh, taking a rare look behind the facade of one of the most famous pop art celebrities in history. An often riveting and deeply moving portrayal, the film examines his early career as a commercial artist in the 1940s, where he produced his renowned silkscreen pop paintings (including the famous "Campbell Soup cans") and his iconic "repetitive" celebrity portraits-an artistic expression that would launch him directly into the world he so desperately craved. Through interviews with an array of confidants-as well as selection of rare stills and film footage-the documentary portrays an extremely insecure man, who found grace is in the imperfect and along the way redefined how we think of art and culture."
