Paul Morrissey, the avant-garde filmmaker renowned for his collaborations with Andy Warhol, passed away at 86 due to pneumonia in a Manhattan hospital. Known for films like 'Flesh,' 'Trash,' and 'Women in Revolt,' Morrissey brought narrative structure and character movement to Warhol's minimalist film approach, significantly impacting the underground cinema scene. His work often featured Warhol's 'superstars,' including transgender performers and amateur actors, capturing the vibrancy of New York's counterculture in the '60s and '70s. Although Morrissey's relationship with Warhol eventually soured, with Morrissey feeling overshadowed by Warhol's fame, his directorial achievements remain highly influential. Morrissey also managed The Velvet Underground and co-founded Interview Magazine, extending his influence beyond film. Fans and colleagues have paid tribute, acknowledging his provocative style and innovative contributions to cinema.
