I'm getting a copy of this movie :D it's only worth like 80 bucks or so. I can't wait. Has anybody seen it?

I have a copy, as well as several other Anger films, but I have yet to watch it. Maybe I'll watch it today...

Alright, I watched it. I have no idea what you expect, but it's basically a fairly non-linear film with a hard to explain narrative that really doesn't make any sense anyway. The style, for the most part, is good. The editting and the slow-motion in particular are excellnt, whereas the quality of the costumes, not so much. It's completely humourless, and attempts to create a very dark and mysterious world. The first problem with that is that it's just a bit cheesy in terms of the way the actors look and some of the special effects. The second problem is that the quality of the print wasn't great, and therefore it didn't really have a crisp, dark look. Not sure if it didn't when it came out, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. The film reminded me of a prog rock music video, albeit a fairly good one. Either way, anyone that would pay $80 for the film is insane.

I thought this film came out on DVD

I'm getting it for free, I wouldn't pay that much for a movie :O If my copy is crappy, though, I might bother you for a copy.
I have no idea what to expect, a bunch of people wanted copies so I figured I would get some and trade them for books. The movie was made in like, 1969, or maybe it was 83, can't remember, but either way, the technology wasn't that great back then. Plus we're talking ab out the earlier 70's, and costumes? pfft.

It's from the early 70s, but that's no excuse. Clockwork Orange is from the early seventies, and still looks cool despite the style it uses. My copy isn't good to make copies, but you don't it anyway.

hmm, it's actually a decent(decent) movie, it's kind of occultish. I'm getting his other movies now. Invokation of my demon brother, scorpio rising, rabbit moon, inaugeration of the pleasure dome.
