Violating the L00Pholes in ordinary filmmaking

C. Christopher Blackshere | I am the devil's reject | 04/06/2008

"Ready to tumble down the proverbial rabbit hole?

Alejandro Jodorowsky artfully fornicates with your fragile expectations and relaxed perceptions with this collection of unrestrained attacks on your senses. Never a dull or a normal moment, he constantly tries to challenge and provoke you with his shocking imagery.



This boxed set offers 4 of his finest achievements--La Cravate, Fando y Lis, El Topo, and The Holy Mountain. They are all engaging, controversial, and odd pieces of art. They seem like psychedilic paintings in pepetual motion. Lots of violence and strong sexual imagery. Plus plenty of moments deemed extremely sacrilegious by many at the time. AJ was a ballsy director that didn't try to appeal to the masses. He uses vivid allegory while juggling illusion and truth. Plus I love how he basically pisses on the standard formulas of filmmaking.



The madness originated from Chile, Jodorowsky is known as the father of the midnight movies
