I first discovered Kenneth Anger films while watching Invocation of my demon brother on the back of a screen while a band was playing at a club. After finding out who directed the film I was able to look up some of Anger's films on YouTube.
Fireworks - Really interesting how the film opens with Kenneth awaking from a dream while holding some kind of Idol statue. It then turns into a really cool scene of him getting torn apart and then awaking from a dream from within a dream. There are a lot of cool things to look for such at the statue of the hand in the begging and how it looks at the end of the film. You can see where this film would help mold upcoming underground art.
Puce Moment- This short film really capture's desire, an in my opinion the comfort in alienation.
Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome- This is my favorite film off of the collection. This film really takes you on a journey into a beautiful occult fantasy, it's almost like a bosh painting come to life.

I tried to get interested in these films but was only able to watch two.
Total garbage.

I purchased this collection of shorts when it was released on DVD this year and I am mesmerized.
The restoration is perfect. I have not listened to the commentaries, but this collection still gets 5 stars. Funny, do remember going to party's that remind me of "The Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome" in the 70's and the early 80's, they just lasted longer than 15 minutes. Just kidding.

Kenneth Anger's visuals are dazzling and way ahead of their time, but rather than listen to the awful musical accompaniment to the films I'd rather listen to Mr. Anger's tirelessly entertaining anecdotes by him in his commentary. They compliment the films perfectly.
I also want to thank the DVD studio for putting out such a terrific package with a gorgeous booklet that accompanies the disc. You have to see it to believe it. I can't wait for Volume Two.

This is a complete surprise to me, and an awesome one at that. I was led to Anger's presentation of a selection of his restored works at UCLA while I was backpacking in LA, during the last US summer. I had never really explored experientalist cinema before I viewed his films, and I was mesmorized! Can't wait to see them again, and in good quality
