This is the first film legendary avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger has made in over 20 years. His last film being "Lucifer Rising". After waiting that long to make a new film, you would think he might have done something a little more elaborate. Granted, he has now passed the age of seventy, but I know there must still be quite a bit of creativity in him. "The Man We Want to Hang" is a 12-minute short, consisting of Anger filming borrowed paintings done by legendary and controversial occultist Aleister Crowley. The paintings themselves are interesting to see because of their irony. For such a renowned "occultist"/"satanist", Crowley painted some very mild, and sometimes beautiful paintings that you would never expect him to produce. Anger naming the film "The Man We Want to Hang" is, in itself ironic too, considering that he's showing these beautiful, tranquil pictures which were painted by a man that many people opposed his very being. This film is worth watching if you are a fan of Anger's work, and/or fascinated with Aleister Crowley, but as far as being a "good" film, it's hard to say.....a junior high school student could have shot the same thing.
