Kenneth Anger's Magick Lantern Cycle: Blu ray

Anger, Kenneth

NO LONGER AVAILABLE. To be released with DVD as Dual Format edition soon.

Renowned as the author of the scandalous best-selling book Hollywood Babylon, Kenneth Anger is a legend in this own time. The mythology that has grown around him has many sources, from his involvement with the occult, astrology and the pop world of Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull and Jimmy Page, to the announcement of his own death in the pages of the Village Voice, and the destruction, loss and banning of his films. At the heart of all this mythology is a filmmaker of prodigious talent, whose skill and imagination create films of great visual force, influencing filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and RW Fassbinder.

The films:
* Fireworks (1947)
* Puce Moment (1949)
* Rabbit's Moon (1950/1971, the rarely seen 16mins version)

* Scorpio Rising (1964)
* Kustom Kar Kommandos (1965)
