05/31/2015 Methamphetamine & Harvard See more 12/31/2012 Straightforward and rather creepy. See more 09/29/2010 Yet another film that exposes Warhol for the fraud and master manipulator that he was. The last twenty minutes of this documentary is tediously long with too much filler in an attempt to extend it beyond an hour in length. See more 09/29/2010 This recent documentary provides another glimpse at one of the Factory's peripheral players. The recent conversations with various associates (Maysles, Name, Berline, Cale, Paul Morrissey) and members of Williams' family are of some interest, but the highlights are the clips of Danny Williams' own films. In contrast to Warhol's own fascination with long takes and tedium, Danny uses blistering strobe-like editing. The effect is akin to what he must have been doing when lighting shows for the VU. Despite my mixed reaction to the documentary itself, it's worth seeing if you have an interest in the subject or if you want to see some striking experimental short films. See more 09/29/2010 muddled documentary made by danny williams niece as she attempts to uncover her uncle's past at the warhol factory and the reason for his strange disapperance thru interviews with ex factory devotees. sits uncomfertably between a mystery doco and an expose of factory life, would have done better to choose one or the other. See more Mike M @RT59071784 09/29/2010 Poorly structured as mystery, hamstrung by the elusiveness of Factory life, the reluctance to provide anyone with any point or meaning; Robinson isn't the first director to be suckered into casting about for answers that were perhaps never there to begin with, and her blurry DV imagery becomes resistible very quickly. Where "A Walk in the Sea" intrigues is in reconvening key players (Morrissey, Malanga, Ron Nameth) to explore how the Factory was more than just about Andy... At its best, Robinson's film serves a similar purpose to her uncle's beloved strobe effects, revealing both the light and the dark of the Factory. See more Read all reviews
