5 min · Directed by Michel Auder
Released
In 1970 Valerie Solanas was released from a mental institution, two years after shooting Andy Warhol. Still unstable, she moved into the Chelsea Hotel where she penned a death threat to Michel Auder and his wife Viva. Using a soundtrack by Wagner, Auder surveys the handwritten evidence of Solanas's threat, before reciting its threatening prose melodramatically.
