Well, it turned out to be a really weird experimental movie, almost a documentary but with no dialogue or comment whatsoever.

(OK) Sexy, seductive, contemplative, mistifying look on sandistic pretty boys on motorcycle culture, post Brandos 'the wild one'....

Psychedelic Swingin' 60s & 70s Film (57 movies items)

" According to Kenneth Anger, Scorpio is the zodiac sign that rules both the sex organs and machinery, so it seemed like a good choice for the title. "Rising" implies the astrological term "ascendant." It is considered by many to be one of the first post-modern films and a direct influence on such avant garde directors as Martin Scorsese and David Lynch."
