4/10
Style over substance

Unfortunately this description applies to a large percentage of Kenneth Anger's body of work and this movie from 10 years after World War II is no exception. It runs for almost 37 minutes and is one of the longest films from the director. The thing I enjoyed most about it was the music (1978 Eldorado version), but that could not really make up for the uninteresting story that was going on. It dragged a lot and I can only really recommend this to huge fans of the director or people with a great interest in theater and mythology. This is one of Anger's most known works (he also acts in here, but not one of the major characters) and he was not even 30 when he shot this. Today he is approaching 90 and still making films. I hope his more recent works are better than his very early films. About "Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome", not recommended.
