Films and TV shows that feel like All Tomorrow's Parties by The Velvet Underground

A cool, detached, fading-glamour portrait of a decadent scene where beautiful people drift toward a party that never quite ends, tinged with melancholy and doom.

1. Factory Girl (2006): Edie Sedgwick's rise and ruin inside Warhol's Factory, the exact world and Velvet Underground circle the song haunts.
2. I Shot Andy Warhol (1996): Valerie Solanas and the Factory's glamorous, dangerous underbelly in 1960s New York.
3. Velvet Goldmine (1998): Glam-era decadence, artifice and fading stardom with the same cool, drifting allure.
4. Basquiat (1996): Warhol appears in a downtown art scene where fame, excess and alienation collide.
5. Last Days (2005): A hushed, drifting meditation on a doomed musician, matching the song's melancholy fatalism.
6. Control (2007): Stark black-and-white portrait of an intense, doomed music scene with deadpan cool.
7. The Velvet Underground (2021): Todd Haynes' documentary on the band itself, steeped in Warhol, Nico and 1960s experimental New York.
8. Mrs. America (2020): Skip it for the era's politics; better: swap in Halston for its glittering, hollow New York party world.
