Video Response: Kenneth Anger's Kustom Kar Kommandos

The mood of the piece was nostalgically 1950s-esque, with strong sensual undertones. From the metallic curves of hot rod, to the white fluffy polishing cloth, even down to the female singer, singing "Dream Lover" throughout the course of the video. It had a vintage feel to it, but i think that may have just been the quality of the film, and the soundtrack coupled together. Either way, the film was intriguing to watch, and was slightly eerie to me, but i do not think that was the intention of Mr. Anger. I liked the comparison in sensuality and the automobile, almost as if the car was a woman itself.
