Featured review
THE WORMWOOD STAR {Short} (Curtis Harrington, 1956) **
This one is even harder to categorize: essentially a documentary revolving around obscure artist Marjorie Cameron, who apparently inhabited the same social circles as notorious mystical figures Aleister Crowley and L. Ron Hubbard. The appealingly-coloured film basically incorporates (and alternates between) casual footage of the evidently eccentric lady, her stylized canvases (many of which she would reportedly destroy herself not long after!), and a few choice (albeit unidentified) poetic ruminations spoken in voice-over by the subject of the piece – all of which is accompanied by a surprisingly (but, under the circumstances, not incongruously) grandiose score! Needless to say, some knowledge of the cultural scene being depicted is required for full appreciation.
