"Andy Warhol's 1965 Vinyl is...one of the best of his Factory psychodramas....The film is actually based on Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange... Ronald Tavel, the Factory's resident scenarist, 'adapted' the book in two or three days, and the film was shot in real time with a single camera setup....The fascination that the Factory's pre-Morrissey productions exert has always been anthropological and is even more so as the works take on a period quality....The film sets a standard for willful artlessness which has yet to be bettered." (J. Hoberman) "Shot in an apparent state of chaos, Vinyl remains one of Warhol's most lasting achievements-a tour of psychosexual hell in which the spectator's position remains frightfully vague. The 're-education' scene from Burgess's novel became the source of this simultaneously fascinating and repellent enactment of sadomasochistic energies, all crowded into the confined space of the film frame with playful glee."
