One of the most successful of the Morrissey-directed Andy Warhol features, Trash is a modern sex farce set in the waning days of the 1960s urban counterculture. The decidedly episodic narrative revolves around a strikingly handsome but sexually ineffectual junkie named Joe (Dallesandro) who is pursued by a succession of female characters, including the superstar trans-vestite Woodlawn. Deflecting seduction, Joe divides his day between pursuing his next fix and nodding out. For his part, Morrissey makes Joe’s inaction a source for both humor and pathos. For critic Dave Kehr, Trash was the best of this cycle of post-Warhol films, and while he noted that Morrissey’s deployment of the Warholian long-take, fixed-camera stare might “represent the height of noninvolvement,” the film itself was “curiously intimate.”
