Probably of all of Kenneth Anger's films, Invocation of My Demon Brother comes closest to the cinematic state of hypnosis that the filmmaker was aiming for. It is a short, intense, ritualistic film with a rough, almost naive synthesizer track by Mick Jagger. The "shadow prints" and the dialectical relationship between structure and chaos are reinforced by the hypnotic waves of the monotonous synthetic soundtrack. "A film that no number of viewings will ever exhaust, a film that will always remain a source of mysterious energy, as only great works of art do." (Jonas Mekas)
