The film proper begins with a close-up of Anger standing before a star- patterned backdrop. He gazes at a naked man reclining on a divan. Appropriated footage of soldiers leaping from a helicopter is cut in. Implying that war is a ritual like any other, the next scene shows young people passing around a marijuana cigarette and playing instruments. A robed figure appears in smoke, waving a wand. A close-up of a spider tattoo is shown, then a ritual with a ram's head and magick symbols is performed. A man dressed as a devil enters the ceremony, followed by footage of men in leather jackets (a group of Hell's Angels). The Nazi flag is used in the ceremony. People in costumes and robes playing instruments walk down a staircase. This is followed by quick cuts of Mick Jagger performing at a concert before a wild throng--a rock concert can be a ritual like any other. The film ends with a naked young man standing, arms outstretched, with a spiral projected on his body. The soundtrack throughout the film consists of manipulated white noise, sounding at times like gunfire or a siren. 590 PFA 1604-19-1219. |aCOPY-SPECIFC DESCRIPTION: 1 reel of 1 (390 ft.)
