Trash is a 1970 American underground film directed by Paul Morrissey and produced by Andy Warhol. Starring Joe Dallesandro, Holly Woodlawn, and Jane Forth, the film depicts a day in the life of a heroin addict drifting through New York City and the unstable relationship he shares with his girlfriend. Blending bleak realism with dark humor, Trash became one of the most prominent features of the Warhol–Morrissey collaboration and is noted for its improvisational style, candid treatment of intravenous drug use, sex, and frontal nudity, and transgender actress Holly Woodlawn's acclaimed breakout performance.
