The avant-garde visionary filmmaker and author of Hollywood Babylon, Kenneth Anger has died at the age of 96. He made experimental films, 40 short films in total, that influenced everything. Luckily for us Floria Sigismondi celebrated him in a short film at the Chateau Marmont in 2019.

 
 
 

If you’re wondering why he looks so good, it’s because he’s dressed in Gucci.
