A poetic sort of surrealism
![Over the last half-century, Kenneth Anger has emerged as one of the icons of American avant-garde cinema. Endlessly imaginative and original, Anger is also a pioneer in expressing and exploring homoeroticism on screen in ways that are daring and often outrageous but that also elicit an inescapable sense of recognition.
