Haxxan, film + Book
Haxxan was a revolutionary film in narrative and special effects at the beginning of the 20th century. Coming from the cold corners of that strange Europe, it used the excuse of being a documentary with dramatizations (a film genre that, like all others, was still taking shape) to show the devil in witchcraft rituals with nudity.
The fact that @spaceintruderdetector published a book a few days ago about its creation, background, and interpretations for this era reminded me of it, and I'm taking this opportunity to share with you that book, along with a later version of the edit. Read on…
HERE'S the link to SpaceIntruder's blog post, where you'll find the link to Archive.org and the book's synopsis. But… what about the man next to the cover? Well, it's William Burroughs, who reappears today, and he's related, but you don't know how…
During the era of exploitation cinema in the 1970s, it was popular and even arty to go to seedy movie theaters in unsavory neighborhoods (as even the tourist heart of Manhattan was back then) and watch genre films, opportunistic with nudity and violence in cheap, double-screenings at night. This phenomenon is when and where Quentin Tarantino's love affair with cinema developed (lying about his age to get in), and John Waters, watching Argentine films with charismatic naked women.
Exhibitors were interested in films that were surprising and unsuitable for large, serious theaters, but demand was high, and shooting these films in the US was tricky. Russ Meyer worked exclusively for this as an independent filmmaker, but meeting that enormous demand led to the release of the aforementioned Argentine films, thus introducing American intellectuals to Alejandro Jodorowski's films. But I'm afraid to digress. What interests us now is that demand led to re-releases, and so Haxxan was reworked and transformed from a silent film into a film narrated in voiceover by William Burroughs! Burroughs, who was never known for his sensual voice, but was energetic and fascinating in his public readings. That's what I add to the book offered by the aforementioned blog. Enjoy!
