1.- El amor puramente espiritual, platónico, no es amor. Es una inmensa ternura. 2.- El amor puramente emocional, romántico, no es amor. Es un cariño infantil. 3.- El amor puramente sexual, pasional, no es amor. Es deseo egoísta. 4.- El amor puramente corporal, animal, no es amor. Es necesidad de compañía. El verdadero amor es al mismo tiempo espiritual, emocional, sexual y animal. Involucra tu ser completo. No es parcial, es total. Cuando amas de verdad, amas con todo tu pasado, tu conciencia, tu inconsciente, tu alma, tu cuerpo, y la totalidad de tu futuro. Cuando l@ amas, le dices: “No quiero nada para mí que no sea para ti. Lo mío es tuyo, lo tuyo es mío, nuestras dos sangres son un solo río”.

"There's a couple of books out like The Top 50 Greatest Movies Never Made. That kind of stuff. But those books only have a page or two per all the would-have-beens and could-have-beens like the Tom Selleck version of Raiders of the Lost Ark or the Richard Dreyfuss version of Total Recall and all sorts of weird alternate-universe possibilities. [Jodorowsky's Dune] was always the coolest one. This one's always the most, you know, the craziest. And then I saw a documentary about Jodorowsky called Constellation, and it goes through his whole life and there's a good five-minute section on there where he's talking about Dune and he pulls out this bound book [of all the progress he made on Dune]. It's like, what the hell's that? Once you kind of learn a little about it, you just want to learn more and more." - Frank Pavich, Director of Jodorowsky's Dune

  El Topo

  El Topo is a 1970 American-Mexican western film written and directed by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky. Characterized by its bizarre characters and occurrences, use of maimed and dwarf performers, and heavy doses of Christian symbolism and Eastern philosophy, the film is about the eponymous character – a violent, black-clad gunfighter – and his quest for enlightenment.

Will never get sick of this one. Mesmerizing.

The Dance of Reality

It’s been over two decades since Alejandro Jodorowsky’s last film — 23 years, if you’re counting that closely. While many of us thought the aging director was going to be just fine tinkering with psychomagic and writing pretty decent comics to occupy him through his dotage, a serendipitous reunion between the director and his former producer (Michel Seydoux) during the making of Jodorowsky’s Dune spurred the two of them on to give it another go. They’d separated on not-altogether-friendly terms after the abject failure of their Dune project, with Seydoux going on to produce a slew of forgettable dross while Jodorowsky made a few more modest attempts (Tusk, the underrated Santa Sangre, and the unfortunate O’Toole/Sharif vehicle The Rainbow Thief). I think we’d all accepted there would never be another Holy Mountain or El Topo. All this is a way to make it perfectly clear the level of apprehension I was dealing with when checking out this latest, deeply personal film from a man who, it seemed, had faded away entirely...
