first saw this without subtitles, and even struggling to understand some of the French and Spanish parts, it was gripping stuff. Jodorowsky is such a brilliant, passionate character, you have to love and feel sorry for him. Totally worth watching for his anecdotes, even if some of them sound rather stretched. Dali etc, brilliant stories, i won't spoil it just watch.
I really don't think his movie could have worked in 1975, or in 1985. or 1995. it's debatable if it could even be made today, so perhaps it's for the best it didn't get made (ignoring Lynch's version, which I also haven't seen!).
Particularly enjoyed Jodorowsky's honesty about how he felt watching Lynch's movie. I don't particularly care for Sci-Fi but anything made with that passion is interesting to me. So many great characters and artists, Giger (Alien) etc. This is in no way an objective piece of journalism, but it's not meant to be. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in film-making itself.
