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.
