Remembering Films by Kenneth Anger - Notes - e-flux
Lukas Brasiskis pens an obituary for Kenneth Anger and his work.
Kenneth Anger, one of the key figures in American avant-garde cinema, passed away on May 11. His legacy endures in a distinct body of films and in an array of enigmatic stories, some woven from the threads of reality, others spun from the fabric of dreams and fictions. Since the very beginning of his foray into filmmaking in the late 1940s, Anger’s distinctive style, replete with explorations of sexuality and its diverse iconographies, has set him apart from the mainstream norms of American cinema.
J. Hoberman on Kenneth Anger (1927–2023)
KENNETH ANGER was an audacious filmmaker, a self-proclaimed magus, a never-closeted queer, a shameless scandalmonger, a sometime Satanist, a difficult person, and, as P. Adams Sitney put it, the “conscious artificer of his own myth.” He was also the King of Pop—at least that’s what I thought on first seeing Scorpio Rising (1963) in the mid-1960s, age sixteen, at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.There were other movies on that program; I remember being impressed by Gregory Markopoulos’s Ming Green and Ed Emshwiller’s Relativity. But Scorpio Rising blew everything else away: the enameled

Kenneth Anger, creator of visionary and transgressive films, has died, aged 96
The film-maker and moving image artist was best known for his boundary-pushing (and, according to some, blasphemous) 1963 film “Scorpio Rising”
Kenneth Anger, a monumental figure in American avant-garde cinema and moving image art, died on 11 May at an assisted-living facility in Yucca Valley, California. He was 96 years old. His death was confirmed by Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers, the gallerists who have represented Anger since 2009.Anger was best known for his transgressive, boundary-pushing cinematic works, including such films as Fireworks (1947) and Scorpio Rising (1963), which went against the formal and social constraints of their day and, in the process, helped map new terrain for American underground film and ultimately pop culture at large.

Close and Personal: Melodrama and Male Friendship in "Close" and "The Eight Mountains"
When it comes to depictions of male grief and suffering, what is it about sentimentality that pains us so?
If Close is “melodramatic” because it dares to explore—and express—male grief in a direct, if aesthetically attuned, manner, how much does that say about what we expect as viewers? When it comes to depictions of suffering, what is it about sentimentality that pains us so? And how or why is it that this becomes even more painful between boys or men?
