“[The Astrologer] pushes ‘auteurism’ to a whole other level.” – Nicolas Winding Refn
This especially rare not-quite-cult-classic was considered lost media for nearly four decades until a 35mm print was unearthed in 2013 amidst a stack of over 1,000 pornographic film prints. Since restored by the American Genre Film Archive, The Astrologer has been reclaimed by underground cinephiles, heralded as a prime example of ‘outsider cinema’.
Directed, produced by and starring self-proclaimed celebrity astrologer Craig Denney, this baffling semi-autobiographical feat of ambition and ego follows a conman (Denney) posing as a carnival psychic who soon realises he truly does possess psychic powers, choosing to use them for his own selfish ends.
What ensues is a batshit Citizen Kane-esque rags-to-riches tale from a true amateur auteur, the ultimate cinematic face-melter that demands to be seen with an audience.
