Our second entry in our month of shorts features Kenneth Anger’s Scorpio Rising, a film less characterized by a definitive plot than by a series of images against an addictive pop soundtrack. Together we try to untangle the mix of homoerotic, religious, and Nazi symbolism presented throughout Scorpio’s 28 minutes.
