The Argument

About This Movie

The Argument is an intriguing piece that serves as a sort of epilogue to the unfinished work of Kenneth Anger. It has this ethereal quality, enhanced by Vilmos Zsigmond’s breathtaking cinematography in Bryce Canyon, which gives it an almost otherworldly feel. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the visuals and the sparse narrative to sink in. There’s a haunting atmosphere that lingers throughout, a kind of surreal exploration of themes like conflict and resolution, but it often feels open to interpretation. It’s fascinating how Frank Mazzola took this incomplete vision and shaped it into something both reflective and visually striking, proving that sometimes, you can find beauty in the unfinished.
