	Alejandro Jodorowsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alejandro Jodorowsky or Alexandro Jodorowsky (pronounced "Aleh-HAN-dro Yoh-doh-ROV-ski") (born February 7, 1929, in Iquique, Chile) is an actor, director, producer, composer, mime, comic book writer and psychotherapist born to Ashkenazi Jewish parents of Russian origin.
		Jodorowsky has lately committed a lot of attention to developing a psychological therapy called "Psychomagic" which aims to heal the psychological wounds suffered in the early stages of life.
		Ultimately, its funding evaporated, but Jodorowsky claimed it was sabotaged by the major studios in Hollywood because it was too French (a strange claim considering that Jodorowsky, while a naturalized citizen of France, has never identified with any particular country or culture.

	Alejandro Jodorowsky
		Although Chilean-born director Alejandro Jodorowsky is best known for his psychedelic, violent movies (El Topo, The Holy Mountain), he has also been, at one time or another during his 75 years on Earth, the mime protege of Marcel Marceau, a surrealist performance artist, an esoteric comic-book author, and a tarot card reader.
		Jodorowsky appeared in November, 2004 at the California Institute of Integral Studies, but, somehow unsurprisingly, his lecture had absolutely nothing to do with film.
		After more questioning, Jodorowsky determined that the young man was suffering from a lack of love from his family, and that to feel love, he must become his sister.

	El Topo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Jodorowsky said of this, "I am now working on a Franco-Canadian production called Abelcain, which is a new version of the same project.

	Movie Review \| Santa Sangre (1989) Axel Jodorowsky, Alejandro Jodorow
		Perhaps the most maverick of these maverick directors is Alejandro Jodorowsky, a Chilean who operated mostly in France and Mexico, and was the consummate artiste.
		I own Jodorowsky's notorious "El Topo" and the surreal "Fando y Lis", and I've seen "The Holy Mountain." In each of those three films, I was struck by the complex, even inspired, visuals, but frustrated by the ponderous and often heavy-handed stories.
		Jodorowsky's films are definitely an acquired taste, and casual viewers will be put off, perhaps even offended, by most of his work.

		Jodorowsky bears the rare success of making films that align very closely to the culture of their time.
		Jodorowsky’s films are of great substance, potentially alienating the mainstream consensus (though, considering the secured cult reception of his films, perhaps not).

		By summer 1972, anticipation for Jodorowsky’s next film was high enough for Rolling Stone to send a correspondent to Mexico for a visit to the set of his new film, The Holy Mountain.
		Jodorowsky began to collaborate with Moebius on comics, and a new career was born.
		Indeed, when I sat down with Jodorowsky this past summer for an hourlong conversation, the extent of that career was obvious: He was hard at work on scripts for six different comics projects.

	The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky
		Jodorowsky shot the entirety of the film on spare weekends, following a one page draft based upon the Fernando Arrabal play which he and his trouple had been performing for several months.
		Jodorowsky claims that all of the violence and blood in the film was real (apparently including - shudder - the vampire scene), a trend he later continued by raping his co-star on camera in El Topo.
		While reading about Jodorowsky can be unnerving (he's "talented to the point of madness," as the documentary puts it), on film he actually seems personable and witty, a far cry from his brutal El Topo persona years ago.

		Jodorowsky then wrote, directed, scored and acted in the film which brought him more fame and notoriety, "El Topo/The Mole" (1970).
		A meandering, violent and highly impressionistic film, "El Topo" follows the travels of the eponymous hero (Jodorowsky) and his son (Jodorowsky's own seven-year-old son Brontis) as they encounter bandits, massacres, hippies and lesbians, in search of knowledge and/or redemption.
		In 1980, Jodorowsky wrote and directed "Tusk", the tale of an elephant hunt, then went underground again until 1989, when he wrote and directed the Italian-made "Santa Sangria/Holy Blood", the story of a young serial killer (played by Jodorowsky's son Axel) redeemed through love.

	Fright Site, Santa Sangre Movie Review
		Jodorowsky’s script is a marvel of feverish imagination, yet the film contains countless wonders not explicitly related to the story.
		These include the sight of a dying elephant bleeding from its trunk; when it passes, it’s placed in a giant coffin which is pushed off a cliff into a ravine, where a mob of vagrants greedily pick it apart.
		Then there’s the guy who rips off one of his ears and offers it to Alma...and a nighttime jaunt through a mass of high-spirited transvestites...and the strangely hypnotic “creation of the world” act the protagonist puts on with his armless mother, using his arms in place of her own.

		However, by the middle of the decade, he’d become disillusioned with the theater scene in its entirety—and made his first legitimate film, Fando Y Lis (it should be noted that Jodorowsky made a film in 1957 while still in France entitled The Severed Head, but that film appears to have been lost forever) in 1967.
		In this regard, it’s very hard for critics to ‘grade’ his films—they’re intensely personal affairs that are perhaps one of the finest examples of communication between a filmmaker and his audience with the film as the intermediary.
		This is a shame, since it would have been very interesting to see what the director would have done with the book—and it probably would have gained his work some recognition from the mainstream as well.

	UltraEventi: due seminari con Alejandro Jodorowsky
		Jodorowsky racconta che suo nonno avrebbe attraversato la Cordigliera delle Ande a dorso di mulo: era la prima volta che la Torah (la legge ebraica) entrava in questa maniera in Cile.
		Col nonno c'era anche il padre di Alejandro, che emigrò poi nella parte settentrionale del paese, a Iquique, città prossima al confine con il Perù e la Bolivia, dove incontrò una giovane cantante d'opera, figlia di un ballerino, anche lui di origine russa.
		Rientrato in Francia nel 1975, Jodorowsky dà inizio a un'impresa titanica: l'adattamento cinematografico del capolavoro dello scrittore americano Frank Herbert, Dune, per la cui realizzazione raduna intorno a sé i più grandi artisti della fantascienza: Moebius, Giger, Foss e Dan O'Bannon.
