"I was entranced by Scorpio Rising
when I saw it for the first time, and it’s had a powerful effect on me
and my own films over the years. The way Anger used music in that film,
in such perfectly magical harmony with the images, opened my thinking
about the role music could play in movies. It could become as important
to the characters and the world of the film as it was to all of us at
the time." -Martin Scorsese
