Description
Kenneth Anger, famous author of the scandalous bestseller Hollywood Babylon, is a living legend. The mythology surrounding him draws from many sources, including his involvement in the occult, astrology and the pop world with figures such as Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull and Jimmy Page; the announcement of his own death in the pages of the Village Voice; as well as 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 have created films of great visual power, influencing directors like Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
