Well, I was going to go to sleep 1/2 hour ago, but decided to watch "Lucifer Rising" instead. Visually, a very striking and appealing film, with some great use of edits, and many good juxtapositions. The usage of Egyptian, Luciferian and English Pagan iconography makes this to me actually quite a religious film, in the respect of it being a dedication from Anger to his inspirations..."An offering in pursuance of a vow"...The music works well within the film too.
Having said that, I would still go for "Inaugeration Of The Pleasure Dome" and "Invocation of my Demon Brother" as being my fave Anger films, but "Lucifer Rising" definitely is a memorable and striking piece of film-making.
