Dir. Alejandro Jodorowsky
That Jodorowsky hasn't made that many films is both surprising and not. The former because he is the sort of person who could have channeled his ideas into countless films. The later because he's style of filmmaking would not be acceptable to a producer not wanting the director to take any of the risks or to make a film as far out as this. Tusk (1980), which I want to track down as a die hard fan of his, is said to be what happened when he was straightjacketed from making his own vision. A miserable failure. Thankfully this year, as a much older and wiser man, if his reflections on these older films are to go by, his newest one The Dance of Reality (2013) got a premiere at Cannes with very warm reception. I can only hope it does get released in Britain , preferably within the year but just to see it would be great.
As for his other films? After this review, don't be surprised if I try to tackle the others at some point.
