Synopsis
Kenneth Anger: author of 'Hollywood Babylon', true disciple of Aleister Crowley, former mentor to both Mick Jagger and Bobby Beausoleil - and almost certainly the most original and talented film-maker of the 20th century. 'Moonchild' presents revelatory texts on the occult, mind-altering, homo-erotic, synaesthetic and pop-culture tropes to be found within such classic underground films as 'Fireworks', 'Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome', 'Scorpio Rising', 'Invocation of my Demon Brother', and 'Lucifer Rising'. 'Moonchild' also contains a host of opulent film images, quotes from Kenneth Anger himself, and a complete filmography, making it the definitive study of one of cinema's most charismatic yet elusive innovators.

Review
Features some terrific film stills, a complete filmography, expert essayists and quotes from the man himself. -- Hot Tickets, Evening Standard
The images from Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome are divine: Pierrot seduces Fellini -- Guardian Saturday Review
These images, better than any text, tell you why he ...was dubbed “an artist of exceptional imagination” by Martin Scorsese. -- Bizarre
To make total sense of his work, a new book, Moonchild, The Films of Kenneth Anger provides a lowdown. -- Guardian Guide
the Anger corpus contains more than enough to sustain this brief yet stimulating study -- Wire, March 2002
