Scorpio Rising

This film is very cool, throughout history many counter culture movements have had their ties to fascism metal, punk and obviously in this case the biker / greaser culture of the 60s. This is a short evocative little work that explores this idea. The imagery is surreal, intimate and at some points pretty chilling (the party scene especially sent some chills down my spine). I thought especially the Jesus black and white film spliced in was pretty fun, Jesus guiding his followers to prayer as the bikers lead each other to debauchery and fascism.  The blue velvet needle drop low key jumpscared me as well I wasn’t ready for it.
