Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome

Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome is an extremely distorted representation of a satanic/egyptian ritual. The film is roller-coaster like in the sense that it starts slowly and builds and builds until the viewer is engulfed in pure chaotic imagery. While it is completely out of my realm of knowledge to know what the characters represent, the film is packed with demonic sexually driven individuals whom consume jewelry and take part in the ritualistic activities. This film had a tendency to be extremely ambiguous, but I'm sure I would be able to make a little more of it with multiple viewings. In conclusion, Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome was outside of my ability to comprehend the first time i viewed it, but I was still absorbed by the anarchic imagery and the overall macabre tone and therefore was able to enjoy this unique film.
