Jodorowsky!

Father of the midnight movie, maker of some of the strangest films you’ll ever see, Alejandro Jodorowsky is a cinematic force. Here’s a trailer from an upcoming documentary and boxed set.



I also recently got the graphic novel he wrote for illustrator Moebius mentioned by the Spainards in both podcasts #19 and #21. It’s good but not super out there as far as comics go, like a large story from Heavy Metal or the defunct Epic.

    Interesting dude, can’t wait for that documentary. His version of Dune would have been rad. That’s one movie I’d like to see properly remade.

    Yeah involving Jodorowsky, Floyd and Dali in a project would have been pure gold, though destined to go way over budget.
    I sense even Lynch found his version of Dune incomplete. But a)you don’t fuck with anything Lynch and b)I’m not enough of a Due fan to care about a remake - especially in a era of ‘remake gone wild’…

    Cool, I never knew about this guy. I really want to see this stuff. Looks totally tripadelic!
