If I was to be a homosexual I would definitely be more of the gay leather biker type. I mean the aesthetic value alone was just so much cooler than any of the other subsets of gayness. Not that I'm an expert or anything but with saying that, I find this Kenneth Anger short a delightful trip down gay memory lane and a peak into a fetishistic underworld that I have only really experience via William Friedkin's CRUISING and creaky old time stag movies. Plus the audio , which consists of 60's pop songs is fucking awesome just by itself! It takes such a simplistic idea and delivers it with such artistic quality. It's too bad that type of creativity seems to be dead in most current filmmakers. Scorsese, John Waters and a shitload of others should send this guy a check. Swastikas, skull-faces, James Dean, drugs, leather-clad tough-guy bikers and a whole bunch more insanity. Jesus pops up occasionally also, which is nice for the whole family. This might be one of my favorite films.
