Not a trip to be taken lightly


Lucifer Rising (1972)

Directed by Kenneth Anger this film features music from Manson Family member Bobby Beausoleil. We see a confusing mix of religious imagery starting in the ancient Egyptian period.

No doubt this film is one of those supposed to be watched with the aid of drugs and a deep knowledge of obscure religious symbolism. For those of us normals watching it this is an interesting film of strange images but not much more. Slightly unsettling is the films connection to a convicted killer through its score.

3/5
