Truly great filmmakers tend to occupy both categories, and you can count the late great Kenneth Anger amongst their number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst living in Paris in the late 1950s and in much need of some extra cash, experimental film maker, actor and pioneer, Kenneth Anger began to write articles for \u003cem\u003eCahiers du Cinema\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, recounting some of the scandalous versions of Hollywood stories he had picked up over the years in and around tinsel town. Anger eventually compiled these articles into a book, which turned into the now legendary \u003cem\u003eHollywood Babylon\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new reprint is alright, but it's such a shame to not maintain the larger format of the earlier editions.
