Bikes and music

Scorpio Rising (1963)

Directed by Kenneth Anger this short film stars Bruce Byron, a rock and roll sound track and no dialogue. A biker works on his bike and prepares for a night out.

Plot and story are something only hinted at in this film which is like a 30 minute music video that meanders through various iconography. While it might not be for everyone this is a fascinating watch that captures a sub culture without ever putting words to anything. If you are in the mood for something different this is certainly a short film worth watching.


4/5
