Little Joe (Page 2)

LITTLE JOE is a deeply personal portrait and the result of an adult daughter exploring her father's 40-year career as a legendary sex symbol with beginnings in the mythic world of Andy Warhol's Factory. Joe Dallesandro embodied the image of the “new man”. He was the heterosexual man everyone wanted to be, not only physically compelling, but also an object of desire coveted by men and women alike. The Valentino of the underground, Joe was the Little Joe of Lou Reed's “Walk On The Wild Side”, the crotch on the Rolling Stones's “Sticky Fingers” album and the only guy at a party willing to return a punch from Normal Mailer. In little more than three years Dallesandro went from an orphaned troublemaker trolling the streets of Queens to international superstardom - and that was just the beginning. The intimate footage filmed on location in Los Angeles and France on DV, Super 8, and 16mm was shot over several years.
