Mr. Flunchy posted:Fando Y Lis rules, and I was very appreciative that they put it in the Jodorowsky box set. Hell, yeah. Not to mention La Cravate and the scores to both El Topo and The Holy Mountain, which are so beautiful. (With mothafuckin' Don Cherry on the sax!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SYgjROXopg The Jodorowsky Contellation is such a great documentary, too. That set was one of my wiser blind purchases. I need The Dance of Reality in my life.

Listening to the audio commentaries for his movies is fascinating, because no matter how eccentric he has an explanation for every single thing in his movies. It almost ruins the films because it leaves nothing to the imagination. One thing I like in "The Holy Mountain" is the allusion to Artaud's "The Conquest of Mexico." I think the "secret lyricism" Artaud briefly discusses must have been particularly influential on Jodorowsky, except that while Artaud was referring mostly to lighting, Jodorowsky expands this lyricism to every facet of his film. Also, one of the greatest film lines (of many in his films): "But!... Is this reality? No! It is a film. Zoom back camera!" K. Waste fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Sep 19, 2014 |

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I feel like you should put that in spoilers. My favorite ending to a film probably ever. Done. Non-spoilery, equally awesome quote: "We are working on a drug that creates delusions of grandeur."
