Eaux d'Artifice (1953) w/ Dr. Will Dodson
About this episode
Dr. Will Dodson joins to discuss Eaux d'Artifice and its subversive elements within Kenneth Anger's filmography.
In this episode, Dr. Will Dodson joins us to take a look at Eaux d'Artifice, an early inductee in the registry from avant-garde legend Kenneth Anger. We discuss why the seemingly tranquil film has a lot going on beneath the surface (including the salacious) and tackle an overview of the controversial provocateur's whole film-making career to determine whether Eaux d'Artifice's subversive subtext was missed by the Registry's selection board, or if that was precisely why they picked it.
