In 1989, Rebekah Wood interviewed Kenneth
Anger for the BFI...
RW: Rabbit's Moon is a very directly
emotional film.
KA: It's what I call a nocturne, a dream
about me. It's about unrequited love and the
moon is a symbol, as it has been in romantic
literature, of the unattainable. The moon has
always been something that's longed for. I
use the figures of Commedia: Pierrot, the
lost clown; Columbine, the flirt; and
Harlequin, who's the devil, the trickster.
RW: Your harlequin is very spiteful.
KA: So he is. The world, to Harlequin, is a
comedy. To him, it's uproarious to trick - to
trip people up. Harlequin is Lucifer. To look
at it from Harlequin's standpoint - which may
be the devil's point of view - he's having a
good time. In other words, Harlequin has no
complexes; his approach to the world is very
direct. You can call him cruel, but he is
also a survivor and Pierrot the sad sack is
not.

Lyrics:
Come save me from walking off a windowsill
or I'll sleep in the rain
Don't you remember when I was a bird
and you were a map?
Now he drags down miles in America
briefcase in hand
The stove is creeping up his spine again,
can't get enough trash
He took the days for pageant
Became as mad as rabbits
With bushels of bad habits
Who could ask for anymore?
Yea who could have more
His arms were the branches of a Christmas
tree
preached the devil in the belfry
He checked in
to learn his clothes had been thieved at the
train station
Rope hung his other branch
and at the end was a dog called bambi
Who was chewing on his parliaments
when he tried to save the calendar business
The poor son of a humble chimney sweep
fell to a cheap crowd
So stay asleep and put on that cursive type
you know we live in a toy
Paul Cates bought himself a trumpet from the
salvation army
But there ain't no sunshine in his song
We must reinvent love
