Endless Poetry
At 88, rebel-shaman filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky has enjoyed a provocative career not easily encapsulated. His 1970 acid western EL TOPO crowned him godfather of the midnight-movie craze. His mystical 1973 masterpiece THE HOLY MOUNTAIN was ripped off by Kanye West for his Yeezus tour. His ambitious, unfinished Frank Herbert adaptation was chronicled in recent doc JODOROWSKY'S DUNE. “Jodo” has also been a playwright, a comic book writer, a musician, a Tarot scholar, and the inventor of “psychomagic” therapy. He once was a mime who studied with Marcel Marceau. His new autobiographical film narrates the years of his youth during which he liberated himself from all of his former limitations, from his family, and was introduced into the bohemian artistic and literary circle of 1940s Chile. "The most accessible movie the director has ever made, and it may also be the best...dotted with his trademark phantasmagorical conceits, which are like candified bursts of comic-book magic realism." - Variety "This self-reflexive ode to following muses, finding meaning in nothingness, and transcending the sensitive roadblocks between fathers and sons is loopy, irreverent, and more intensely personal than anything its mystic creator has invented before." - Village Voice SYNOPSIS: A tribute to Chile's artistic heritage, Endless Poetry is also an ode to the quest for beauty and inner truth, as a universal force capable of changing one's life forever, written by a man who has dedicated his life and career to creating spiritual and artistic awareness across the globe. Rated R, 128 mins.
