The first part of Kenneth Anger’s Magick Lantern Cycle<\/em> appeared on DVD in a splendid edition from Fantoma<\/a> earlier this year. The second and final part is due for release on October 2nd and you can see the mouthwatering trailer here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This new set includes the Cocteau-esque Harlequinade, Rabbit’s Moon<\/em><\/a> (1950); homoerotica, bikers and rock’n’roll in Scorpio Rising<\/em><\/a> (1964); a hot rod, a blond boy in tight pants and the Paris Sisters crooning Dream Lover<\/em> in Kustom Kar Kommandos<\/em><\/a> (1965); magick ceremonies and Mick Jagger playing with a Moog synth in Invocation of My Demon Brother<\/em><\/a> (1969); and Donald Cammell, Marianne Faithfull, Egypt, volcanoes, Aleister Crowley, an orange UFO and a great score from Bobby Beausoleil in the miniature epic, Lucifer Rising<\/em><\/a> (1982).<\/p>\n

The Magick Lantern Cycle<\/em> is a great work of cinema that’s suffered from shoddy presentation on previous video releases; Fantoma have given these films the care and attention they deserve. If you haven’t seen them yet, you’re in for a treat.<\/p>\n
