Dialogue Kenneth Anger /Gaspar Noé
An underground filmmaker who has influenced many generations of artists and film enthusiasts, Kenneth Anger spans the history of the post-World War II counterculture. He was barely twenty years old when he made his first film in 1947. The poetic energy and visual singularity of this film evoke Méliès, Cocteau, Genet, and the mytho-poetic American cinema of the 1940s. It foreshadows the main themes of his work: the ambivalence of sexuality, the representation of society's margins, and the magical, even esoteric, nature of his cinema (Anger admired Eliphas Levy's *History of Magic* and the occult philosophy of Aleister Crowley).
