i’ve heard about this documentary on my on arrival training and i’ve been very curious about it ever since.
thanks to luís and all his sharing acrobatics, i managed to see it today. i laughed a lot, loud, and that’s rare.
it turns out that the very famous andy warhol has slovak roots. his parents came from a little eastern village, near the border with ukraine. this village has an andy warhol museum that doesn´t allow gipsys inside, has buckets everywhere for the roof leaks and has the paintings protected in the cellar.
but the best of it are the relatives of andy aarhol. his cousins and aunts are the best ever. living in very hard conditions (unemployment, alcoholism), they talk about their famous relative whom they’ve never met:
“he was murdered by his girlfriend who wanted to marry him and he didn’t!”
“we used the painting he sent us as paper-speakers for the kids!”
“no homosexual (you-know-what) ever came from this village!i tell you he was not that!”
i’ll be happy to share it with anyone who’s curious! it’s in slovak/ruthenian with english subtitles.
