Scorpio Rising (1964)


This film, Scorpio Rising, was directed by Kenneth Anger. He also did the screenplay, photography and the editing for the film. The main theme in this film, is motorbikes, and the characters in the film wear the typical outfits, bikers would have worn in the 1960's. Kenneth Anger is gay, and this shown in his film, because his characters are meant to be gay. There are lots of images of skulls and skeletons throughout the film, which may be referencing death. The title is mentioned many times throughout the film, i.e on te back of one of the bikers jackets.
I thought this film was ok to watch. It was more understandable than the other films we were shown.
