Audience Member Famoso corto, controversial para su època. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Milk running down the shoulders and chest, a special firework, and then walking around with a Christmas tree on the head - a strange collage of dreams and themes, Kenneth Anger's "Fireworks" is bursting with unforgettable images and is well worth preserving for numerous reasons. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member bizarre confusing but still watchable Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Se podria decir que con Fireworks queda inagurado el cine underground, pues es el primer corto de Kenneth Anger. Violento, surreal y con toques de homoerotismo. Brillante debut de este legendario cineasta y sin lugar a dudas, adelantado a su epoca. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member They had gay people in 1947? Really? I've seen many, many movies from that time period and there was not one single queer in any of them. We all know movies and art in general is a reflection on society so I must assume that means homosexuals didn't come into existence until the sixties. Damn hippies!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A different way of film production i have never seen before, very interesting and full of metaphors.
