Ushio Shinohara is a small player in the contemporary art world, known for painting with a pair of paint-soaked boxing gloves. Their family has struggled financially for many years. Noriko, who is more than 20 years younger than Ushio, set aside her own career to raise their son Alex and serve as Ushio’s unpaid assistant, receptionist and chef. Noriko has also worked on her own art, a character she created named Cutie. Cutie's story is told in a comic-book narrative, where she comes to New York and falls for a broke older artist named Bullie. By the end of the movie, Ushio has begun to recognize that he’s not the only artist in the family. They hold a joint art opening at a SoHo gallery.

Ce fi lm est le premier à exploiter les immenses archives du musée Andy Warhol de Pittsburgh.À travers quantité d’images et de séquences inédites complétées d’interviews, il explore la vie et l’œuvre de celui qui deviendra le pape du Pop Art – depuis son enfance solitaire et sa formation à Pittsburgh – jusqu’à l’explosion de sa carrière à New York et sa mort prématurée 1987.
Construit autour de nombreuses archives souvent inédites, de caricatures originales de Rita Mercedes (spécialiste de caricatures d’écrivain), de lectures de textes de Camus et Sartre, le film s’écarte des chemins balisés du documentaire-fiction habituel et prend une forme originale qui renouvelle le genre, ce qui n’a pas manqué d’être souligné par la presse [1] : les personnages de Camus et de Sartre sont évoqués par des ombres qui évoluent dans des décors d’époque...
