Muriels Hall of Fame, Class of 2018: Scorpio Rising (1963, Kenneth Anger)

Note: in a change from previous years, there was a separate category on this year's ballot for short films. This will be the first of several short films we've inducted this year. 


"Anger captures the solitary pleasures of assembling a persona, focusing on the reverie of the ritual. With Scorpio Rising, Anger once again begins by again fetishizing vanity... The camera watches as they assemble their custom bikes, chrome additions glistening in Anger’s loving light."

~ Kevin Cecil


Coming tomorrow at 7:00 PM: we pay tribute to a true masterpiece of its kind, and a fundamental building block of a broad-based cinematic education.
