Imagine an entire documentary dedicated to trolling its audience into considering that human drama is trivial, through the assertion of quirky human drama, in the context of a dark lord who exemplifies what terrifies normies.
This documentary tracks the lives and rituals of individual Satanists of the LaVeyian tradition who come together as the film goes on and their different individualistic pursuits become enmeshed in the need for group ritual. This is a comforting vision.
Its overall theme seems to be the rising of spirit above the constraints of mundane life, expressed through the ability of these individuals to embrace their own eccentricity and individual destinies. Perhaps not the most exciting film, still a satisfying watch better than most of the “art house” cinema set.
