Scorpio Rising (Kenneth Anger, 1963)

[bitter69uk]

“In Scorpio Rising (1963), Anger filmed the rituals of a Brooklyn motorcycle gang, juxtaposing the fetishism of chrome, leather and the holy icons of James Dean and Marlon Brando with images from a Fifties’ “Sunday school” TV series, The Living Bible. It is set to a soundtrack of pop songs such as The Angels’ “My Boyfriend’s Back”, Ricky Nelson’s “Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear to Tread)” and The Shangri-Las’ “Leader of the Pack”. Martin Scorsese later cited Scorpio Rising as the major influence on the use of music in his films.”

/ From “The Extraordinary Life of Experimental Filmmaker Kenneth Anger” by Mick Brown, Esquire magazine, 2023 /

Attention, Leather Jacket Lovers! Pioneering underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger’s timeless, troubling homoerotic occult masterpiece Scorpio Rising premiered on this day sixty years ago (29 October 1963) at New York’s Gramercy Arts Theatre. Seeing Scorpio Rising and Kustom Kar Kommandos (1965) at an impressionable age warped me in the best possible way. (Scorpio Rising is the reason I insist on wearing Levis and engineer boots! The film also boasts one of THE best soundtracks of all time). His Satanic Majesty Anger died on 11 May 2023 aged 96.
