  • @chizulch4 My thoughts exactly. It makes me wonder whether xoO0oO0ox has ever - A. looked closely at Anger's work (or studied film at all), or B. Looked at the terrabytes of absolutely horrific garbage that lives forever on YouTube that has come as the result of a people who believe that a "Mac and an iPhone" is all it takes to make a film. Same goes for photography - an over abundance of digital cameras and an even more overwhelming abundance of lousy photos. Tools are only a precondition.

  • I love Anger. Not perhaps for his occult beliefs, but by the art that he made. I am intrigued by his beliefs, especially his following of Alistair Crowley, but his films are for the most part brilliantly made. His use of color/or lack thereof, movement, music, stylization of a moment are brilliant. I don't know that I would pronounce my love of Lucifer, because I don't believe that. But, I don't condemn Anger for what he believed in.

  • that was pathetic

  • i like this version

  • Hi xoO0oO0ox, your comment highlights your ignorance of Anger's work, and of the nature of film making.

  • I didn't actually look up this film, I was searching for things about death and the after-life. This came up, and I had no idea who this guy was.

  • you looked up this film and commented just to say that?

  • Yep. His films don't mean a thing (unless you're REALLY into occult symbology). They just look incredible, even by today's standard. (well, not this one so much-- but the other "satanic" shit he does.)

  • I guess people are still trying to convince themselves that the emperor has clothes.

    Now that any idiot with a Mac and an iPhone can make short videos like the old short film masters - the sacred cow filmmakers are exposed as shallow and pretentious.

    Clever use of film for the time sure, but meaningful? Nah.

  • What a pretentious moron this guy is.
