Abstract

My Hustler is by now viewed as one of the most canonical and accessible of Andy Warhol’s films alongside Sleep (1963), Empire (1964), Blow Job (1964), and Chelsea Girls (1966). Beyond Warhol, My Hustler is central to both the history of gay cinema (pre-dating by some years the gay cinema of the 1970s liberation era) and the American underground cinema. In this article I hope to reassert the film’s significance while shedding some new light on its avant-garde credentials with reference to an under-examined area of Warhol’s cinema: the screen performance.) --Gary Needham
