PERDURABO (Where is Aleister Crowley?)

About This Movie

Perdurabo, directed by Carlos Atanes, dives into the mystique of Thelema and Crowley's life at his Sicilian abbey. The film has this almost experimental feel, blending unsettling visuals with dense themes surrounding spirituality and personal ambition. Its pacing can be meandering, but it allows for contemplation, drawing you into Crowley's world. Practical effects and a raw aesthetic contribute to the haunting atmosphere, making it distinctive in its approach to biographical storytelling. The performances, though not widely recognized, carry an earnestness that fits the esoteric subject matter well, giving you a glimpse into the complexities of Crowley's character without sensationalizing him.

Perdurabo has had a rather limited distribution, making it somewhat rare among collectors. Its unique take on a biopic, coupled with its esoteric themes, draws interest from those who appreciate unconventional cinema within the occult genre. Given its niche audience and the scarcity of physical copies, this film holds a curious appeal for collectors who delve into the life and works of Aleister Crowley.
