Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story
2000, NR, 75 min. Directed by Shelly Dunn Fremont, Vincent Fremont.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., July 16, 2002
Erstwhile Warhol superstar and speed freak Brigid Berlin is the subject of this knowing documentary that follows the now sixtysomething Berlin through her daily activities and also includes interviews with John Waters, Taylor Mead, Bob Colacello, Larry Rivers, and Patricia Hearst. Born into the New York upper crust, Berlin has always had issues with her weight, and this movie's stroll down memory lane and the corridors of the Chelsea Hotel cause her to sunder her diet for her now-favorite food: key lime pie.
