The Wormwood Star is a fascinating dive into the life of Marjorie Cameron, who was more than just an artist. The film's pacing is somewhat languid, allowing you to really soak in her work β the paintings, the poems, they pulse with a raw, mystical energy. Curtis Harrington's direction captures not just Cameron's aesthetic, but her spirit as an occultist and poet. The atmosphere is dense, almost otherworldly, especially with the way her visuals and recitations intertwine. There's a unique charm in the simplicity of the documentary format, and it's intriguing how it highlights her eclectic talents. It's not just a documentation of her art; it feels like an exploration into the very essence of creativity and the esoteric.
