Kenneth Anger: author of Hollywood Babylon, disciple of Aleister Crowley, former mentor to both Bobby Beausoleil and Mick Jagger, “Godfather” of MTV and almost certainly one of the most original and talented film-makers of the 20th Century.
Moonchild is a comprehensive study of Anger’s films focusing in particular on the occult, mind-altering, homo-erotic, and pop-culture elements found within such classics as Fireworks, Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome, Scorpio Rising, and Invocation Of My Demon Brother.
Moonchild also contains numerous opulent film images, quotes from Kenneth Anger, and a complete filmography, making it the definitive study of one of cinema’s most charismatic yet elusive innovators.
