El Topo (1970)
Jul 21, 2000Surrealist Zen Western
Cult film from Alejandro Jodorowsky, a surrealistic Western that comes with an incoherent mishmash of symbolism, Zen mysticism and 1960s raised consciousness
The Holy Mountain (1973)
Dec 21, 2000Transcendental Mysticism
A key work in the cult of Alejandro Jodorowsky in which he plays a character called The Alchemist who guides a group on a mystical awakening. Surreal, challenging and mind-expanding
Santa Sangre (1989)
Jul 31, 2010Surrealism/Psychologically Disturbed Mime Artist
Near indescribable mix of horror, hallucination, surrealism and tormented sexuality – quite possibly cult director Alejandro Jodorowsky at his best
The Dance of Reality (2013)
Jul 21, 2014Surreal Autobiography

Endless Poetry (2016)
