"The Man We Want to Hang" offers a unique glimpse into the mind of Aleister Crowley through the lens of his artworks. It’s brief, only 12 minutes, yet it’s packed with a certain intensity. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost charged with the occult, which is fitting given Crowley’s notorious reputation. Anger’s approach—filming the paintings with a sort of reverence, but also a scrutiny—creates a pacing that feels almost meditative. You can sense the weight of history in each frame. There’s a rawness to it, an unfiltered look at a controversial figure’s legacy. Not your typical documentary; it’s a more personal exploration rather than just a biographical recounting. Definitely something that intrigues the more seasoned collector, if you appreciate the more esoteric aspects of film and art alike.
