Cripes, it's *ten* years since Constance Penley's Experimental Film class at UCSB. I sat in on it b/c my friend was taking the class and what I saw there blew my mind. I'm still recovering (I may never recover).
So finally Fantoma put these out on DVD, with Anger's own commentary (needed on symbolically obscure films like "Inauguaration of the Pleasure Dome"). They look beautiful, from the woozy focus and outre sexual fantasies of "Fireworks" to the color explosion of "Pleasure Dome". I stole a heap of stuff for "nowhereland" and it was cool to go back and see what I had taken (I had forgotten).
