Kenneth Anger has been one of my favourite directors ever since I first saw Scorpio Rising when I was about fifteen. A lot of the colours and editing from his early films come up in this, and I find it amusing that he seems to be consciously picking up on the fact that his work is now revered particularly by graphic designers (aside from the immense influence he had on such directors as David Lynch and John Waters), in working with the graphic prints and colours of Missoni, while his leap into advertising rather brings to mind the Hollywood Babylon tomes that he brought out in the ’60s - he always loved picking over the idea of wealth, fame and idle gossip, and has consistently been entwined with fashion anyway.
