In terms of Kenneth Anger, it's all here: his artifice, his glamour, his homosexuality, his rebellion, his tongue-in-cheek irony, his love of the process of dressing, his soft-focus romanticism, his use of "found audio" in popular music, his stagy quality, and his formal experimentation. He builds the story of a biker from slow to fast as the biker named Scorpio works on the machinery, dresses in the garb/drag/costume of his rebellious role, purveys homoerotic content in pop-culture contexts, leads a bike gang, and crashes and demises. In the meantime, Scorpio is compared to Jesus, Hitler, and Brando. "Magick" is never far away in the forms of skulls, necromancy, and the shifting alchemical symbols of various multi-identity tropes.
