One of Anger's better films, definitely worth watching if you have 14 minutes to spare. The homoerotic beauty he'd bring to his color films is already in place, but it comes off more as a companion to Genet than a precedent to Scorsese.

An astonishingly asured masochistic masturbatory fantasy full of potent gay imagery. All deeply personal for the young Anger but the common currency of motifs - aided and abetted by this very film - still chimes across the years with its themes of repressed violence: enjoyed and endured.

Kenneth Anger's gay film experiment is tremendous and unforgettable, the work of a true artist in the medium, making it even more astonishing that he was only 17 when he put this together. Most young filmmakers are dicking around with equipment at that age, whereas Anger was able to lay bare his very soul in ways that most seasoned veterans only dream of.
