5.0 out of 5 stars
an intense and colourful ritual, December 13, 1999
This review is from: Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Anyone with an interest in underground film or occultism, especially Thelema, should check this film out. Of Course as a "Crowleyite" Ken's film is very rich and extreme and he combines some striking imagery with some beautiful music. I have no idea what the music is that he uses but he manages to relate the on screen imagery to it perfectly. I have seen two versions of the film with different soundtracks - One of them had a soundtrack consisting of old pop tunes and I found this version to be not as good. Anyways - check it out!

Brilliant and Historically Important Film, December 24, 2004
This review is from: Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Anyone with any interest in Kenneth Anger should see this film. The imagery and symbolism is profound. It is truly an historic peace.I have seen most of his work and this along with Anger 3 which consists of Kar Klub Kommandos, Lucifer Rising, and The Invocation of My Demon Brother are his most important work. Both are very very hard to find and very expensive.
