The Sacred Mushroom Edition (For Kenneth Anger, by way of Kuchar)

DirectorRyan Betschart

2017
4 min

An ode to the 1978 version of Kenneth Anger's film Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (dubbed The Sacred Mushroom Edition) and it's peculiar use of Electric Light Orchestra's album El Dorado over images of a ritual orgy between gods, The Sacred Mushroom Edition (2016) finds two fallen angels arguing over ELO and their lead singer Jeff Lynne's affiliated supergroup The Traveling Wilburys - and his connection to the dark side.
