Alejandro Jodorowsky is one of world cinema s most fabled
iconoclasts. Often venerated as the ultimate cult film director,
the Chilean artist to prominence as a 1970s counter-cultural
icon thanks to the masterful movies presented on this collection:
Fando y Lis, El Topo and The Holy ain. These extraordinary
films, presented here alongside his stunning new film
Psychomagic, bedazzled audiences with their unique aesthetic,
contrasting violence and beauty; the sublime and the
sacrilegious; the mystical and the macabre...
Jodorowsky s first feature, Fando y Lis, tells of young Fando and
his paregic sweetheart Lis s journey through a series of
surreal scenarios to find the enchanted city of Tar. An
-western packed with vivid imagery, El Topo stars Jodorowsky
as a master-fighter who duels with four sharp-shooting
adversaries on his journey across a desert dreamscape. In The
Holy ain, Jodorowsky plays The Alchemist, a guru who guides
a troupe of pilgrims on a quest to ascend the Holy ain in
search of spiritual enlightenment. Jodorowsky s new cinematic
experience, Psychomagic, A Healing Art, explores the directors
radical therapeutic work.
Influential, controversial and endlessly fascinating, Jodorowsky
s surreal masterpieces are presented here in stunning new 4K
restorations, accompanied with a wealth of illuminating extras,
and new writing.
