Default The Dance of Reality by Alejandro Jodorowsky

Since I have not found any threads about this I shall make one.


A few months ago I saw Jodorowsky's Dune. It basically blew my mind and caused me to obsessively seek out Alejandro Jodorowsky's other films. I have been VERY impressed with this guy's films since then. He has made some really whacked out introspective stuff.

In Jodorowsky's Dune there was some talk about this new movie he is making.... at age 85 no less! The movie is now finished and it has been on tour at various film festivals and is slowly being released in theaters. I have been eagerly awaiting for this film to come to my city. Which it will do next week. I am more STOKED about it than any other movie this year. All the reviews of it are pretty positive and it looks impressive as heck. A lot of times the last film or films great directors make are some of their best (Akira Kurosawa's last films come to mind here). I am hoping this will be Jodorowsky's best. His mind is sharp and he has a lifetime of experience and skill to call upon when making a movie.

I've never seen a Jodorowsky film, and I hope to remedy that real real soon.

Jodorowsky is a wonderful nutter.

I'd recommend watching Jodorowsky's Dune first and then checking out El Topo or The Holy Mountain.

I'd start with Santa Sangre (sorry, Tekka). It's a great way to jump in to his work.
