The Films of Kenneth Anger: Volume Two

About This Movie

So, The Films of Kenneth Anger: Volume Two really dives into that later phase of Anger’s unique vision. You get the raw energy of Scorpio Rising, which is quite the exploration of subculture and sexuality. Then there’s Lucifer Rising, with its surreal imagery and almost dreamlike quality that feels ahead of its time. The pacing varies, but it creates a haunting atmosphere, blending drama with fantasy in a way that’s distinctly Anger. The practical effects and visual storytelling stand out, capturing that feeling of rebellion and mysticism. It’s like taking a trip through a vivid, often chaotic world that somehow feels cohesive in Anger’s wild imagination.

This volume completes the set of Anger's works, making it a notable piece for collectors. Initially released by Fantoma, the restoration process has garnered attention, contributing to its desirability. Its limited availability and the significance of Anger's contributions to experimental cinema elevate interest among serious film enthusiasts. As such, it's become a sought-after item, especially for those looking to own a comprehensive collection of Anger’s groundbreaking films.
