This educational video essay compiles clips and interviews to detail the life and career of Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, and how his unique cinematic style continues to influence our cultural lexicon.
hey guys sorry about the mix being off in the intro, people have been letting me know the music is too loud. Future videos will be mixed better! Here is a transcript of what is said:
"Alejandro Jodorowsky is a radically bold and outrageous filmmaker, whose work is incredibly spiritual, and on the surface it can seem esoteric. But in reality, his unique filmic style is informed by a lifelong study in Tarot, Eastern mysticism and Jungian philosophy. His visual approach combines vibrant, religious iconography with grotesque and often sexually violent imagery. His cinematography is both meticulous and surreal, and loaded with intense symbolic gravity - where objects and movements are turned into metaphors, emphasizing their concepts and ideas - OVER the literal plot points of the film. Watching any of his 9 films is a very dreamlike experience - a pageant for the eyes, but a meditation for the soul. And they all feel like they kind of exist in the same universe, this strange, circus-like reality, where everything is exaggerated, and hyper-coordinated. It’s a feeling I sometimes get when I watch Kubrick or Lynch, or even Wes Anderson - it’s the meticulous calculation and attention paid to the spatial arrangement of objects - it evokes the feeling of an omnipresent designer, a sort of all-seeing eye. But I think Jodorowsky’s universe, on an optical level, soars above these other painterly directors. Visually his films go toe-to-toe with Wes Anderson’s, matching his mastery of color and shot composition - but Jodorowsky’s visions actually have true symbolic meaning. They have a spiritual seriousness to them, as if they’re imploring the viewer to transcend to some higher plain of existence. The man himself is something of a mystic. A self-titled ‘Psycho-Magician.' His parents were circus performers, and elements of his highly unusual upbringing often appear in his films - as well as his love of the occult, Jungian philosophy, Tarot, and Eastern mysticism. In this video, I’ll be taking a quick look at each of his films in the order that he made them, inspecting how they were made, and what they might possibly mean - while also delving into some of Jodorowsky’s more hilarious eccentricities as a person. I’ll also be covering his cultural legacy, and the many artists who’ve ripped him off over the years. So let’s see if we can begin to unearth some of the mysteries behind one of cinema’s boldest and most out-there voices, and one of my all-time favorites." - Розваги
In 2019, just a few months before the coronashit pandemy, I saw Jodorowsky sitting in a café with his wife, reading Tarot for another woman. I acted like if I didn't know him at all so I could sat down just next to him and listen. I pretented to read my classes while listening to his lecture, and finally turned and said "Thanks for existing". He looked surprised and curious, and we went on to chat for 15 minutes about his films. He's still the most fascinating and intriguing person I have ever met. Besides, thanks for this great video essay man !!
Upsetting?
@@timasbestos7393 In the same sense that a guerilla ontologist is upsetting. If Jodorowsky's ideas don't upset you, keep digging until you encounter some that do. Not intended in a patronizing manner, merely the notions I tell myself. Adieu!
@@timasbestos7393 I'm sorry, upsetting wasn't the proper word. I meant by that curious, strange, intriguing, but it's true that upsetting sounds pejorative. Thanks for having pointed this out, I'm replacing the problematic word right now :)
great story. if it’s true nice👏
Yeah, that never happened.
I'm chilean and I live close where Alejandro was born in the small coast town of Tocopilla. When he premiered his last picture he did it in Tocopilla, with all of the town present. I'm so proud of him being so respected and praised all around the world.
Holy Mountain should have won an Oscar for its production design.
lol can you fucking imagine the Oscar voters watching a Jodorowsky movie
tell my family that
Most Academy voters couldn't handle looking at it long enough to figure that out! (I think the movie is ridiculous, but I agree with what you're saying. It doesn't look like any other movie in history.)
Right. (My buddy worked on both Goodfellas and Cape Fear, and he was there when Scorsese heard the Oscar nominations for Goodfellas. He told Scorsese he thought he was going to win Best Picture this time, and Scorsese said, "People like Jessica Tandy are not going to vote for my movie while we're saying "fuck" all the time and shooting people in the head!")
@@Paul47Tat jodorowsky created multiple worlds....with no modern technology...thats like if george lucas had every single planet and location from every star wars movie all in one movie..thats a hell of a lot of intricate production design
"If I die tomorrow, [The Dance of Reality]'s my last will. If I continue, it's my comeback."
What a quote.
Those reptiles "dressed as medieval kings" are certainly not that. They are dressed as Aztecs, and the others as Spanish Conquistadors, and the whole surreal scene is a re-enactment of the conquering of the ancient world by the European voyagers.
But otherwise, great analysis of the Mountain.
Also, the Naga Kings of the Mayans
Toads being poisonous, poisonous to shove ones ideology down anothers throat. its endlessly deep
@@KryxtianBlack Aztecs are not Mayans.
This is something that I think a lot of people miss, why Fando y Lis angered people so much, that era in Mexico you had a lot of movies that were pro-nationalism, pro-catholicism, etc, and Fando y Lis was not that. He actually borrows heavily from Mexican cinema as there is this blend of mysticism and religion in Mexican culture that seems like crazy hippy stuff to us. A saint like Santa Muerte is a bridge between mesoamerican culture and catholicism, and Yoderowsky loves exploring that territory. I think if you know more about Mexican cinema Yoderowsky makes more sense, Some really good American films like Sweet Charity and The Monkee's film Head was from the same time and a horrible box office flop because American audiences were going to see Charleton Heston in Bible movies instead.
@@bubblegum9713 Except they literally aren't dressed as "medival kings" so he's wrong. They are dressed as Aztecs and conquistadors and they are in Aztec pyramids. It has nothing do to with "medieval kings".
He's so well spoken in his mother tongue, guys. You wouldn't believe how amazing his spanish interviews are. MAESTRO
There's an entire body of work (interviews, books, comics, etc) that are unknown to non-speakers of French and Spanish.
@@etiennedegaulle3817 Care to give some names?
he speaks excellent French too
I'm jelous
He's well spoken in English too 🥴
I "met" this man through his comic books actually, which are nothing like anything in existence, yet they inspired everything there is in existence about sci-fi and fantasy in some cases. He is a mad genius, and the world will only fully appreciate his art perhaps in the next century or so. Way ahead of the game, in all the mediums he permeated.
I saw. The Holy Mountain when I was 14. I wasn't ready for it. The imagery haunted me for years. I remember telling all my friends about and they just didn't get it.
woah thats too young im still haunted by the images too
Haunting now 😒
I saw it when I was 11 lol.
Yes his comics need another video entirely, his unproduced Dune film led him and Moebius to the creation of the graphic novel The Incal, and its influence can be found in Alien, Terminator, Flash Gordon, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Akira, Blade Runner, The Matrix, etc, etc. He is amazing and one of the most influential creators ever. And don't get me started on his interviews where he talks about life and the ego, so sad must of them are in spanish without subtitles, I think those are the highest quality content you can find when listening to Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Should've warned about spoilers
If I have never loved someone who I've never met, it has to be this man. with all my heart. Undoubtedly. Thank you for this one.
u mean ever not never i'm guessing?
At Dune, Dali was who got the $100.000 per min on screen. Even Orson Welles acepted. Damn producers, it would have been THE MOVIE. :(
i know. and welles was going to do not for money but for food as jodorowsky decided to hire the chef of this restaurant to cook exclusively for welles and welles was like "i'll do it".
They bring up a really interesting point in the doc where they suggest what if the first big sci-fi blockbuster was Dune and not Star Wars and how that might have impacted the future of popular films. Something to think about
That's good and all but take in account that If they had given him the carte blanche It would've been 14 hours long.
@@joe3489 yes but that is the problem with dune it needs to be 14hrs long.
The problem is, while ambitious and interesting Jodorowsky’s Dune is, it was not even close to the source material.
Everyone mentions El Topo or the Holy Mountain when talking about their favorite Jodorowsky film(which is totally understandable), but Santa Sangre is mine. I’ve seen it so many times and it still makes me feel a certain way.
Santa Sangre is phenomenal, but my favorite is Fando y Lis. If you've never seen it, you should. It's weird as hell, but it's great stuff.
Have you seen in on the big screen? His films get shown annually in Portland. My friend Jack and I hosted El Topo, last summer at the Clinton Street Theater. Santa Sangre and La Danza de la Realidad are imo his best works. But the brilliance of El Topo and Holy Mountain can't be denied.
I love Holy Mountain, though Santa Sangre is also my favourite.
The scene where Fenix takes the place of his father and throws the knives at the showgirl is my absolute favorite scene. The music and atmosphere for sure makes me feel some type of way... It's sensual and heartbreaking, Fenix was handed down a generational curse where he is reliving the scene which not only gave his father great pleasure, but is also the scene where his mother loses her arms...
I'm with you on Santa Sangre. But my favorite scenes of his is the opening of Holy Mountain.
Also, don’t forget his comics! Some of the most epic, surreal comics ever made
amazing stuff!
Yeah, Metabarons are amazing
The music is too loud. Cant hear what he says clearly.
@@sashabolof The problem lasted mainly for the duration of the intro, it gets better afterwards. And it's a good video, so I do recommend trying again
Sorry about the mixing issue folks, clearly there are some bugs I need to work out with my new editing set up. Next video will be better mixed! Thanks for bearing with me, apologies again to those who had a hard time hearing me in the intro. Here's what I said:

Sounds fine to me
I muted the first few minutes and put on the captions!
I’m chilean, and never understood why Jorodowsky was so known in another countries and important. I do now. So thank you for this documental.
when I lived in Chile, he was reading tarot for free. Some people I met were very excited to go see him, but unfortunately, I never did. I regret not going, I've see but a few of his films, but he seems like such a fascinating man. I guess I will never have such a chance again.
Beautiful video, Thank you!
i havent even watched more than two and a half minutes and im already very thankful you made this.
mi maestro artístico, espiritual, creativo, sublime y salvaje!!!
desde hace 15 años en mi vida con su vida y obra e aprendido a seguir mi camino;
naci en mexico, y me fui a chile a los 29 años
ahora mexicochileno con mi re-evolucion personal voy cada dia mejor!!!
This was awesome. Thank you so much for making it.
Well done man. Some minor details you got wrong. Allen Klein threw his movies into production hell because Jodo refused to direct an adaptation of The Story Of O, not because Holy Mountain didn’t sell well. It was actually the second highest grossing film in Italy behind James Bond.
It was not Orsen Welles but Salvador Dali who demanded $100,000 a minute.
Dali wanted to be known as the highest paid actor ever, which was perfectly fine since they only needed a few minutes of him on film anyway.
Also it was because of Holy Mountain that he was able to attempt Dune to begin with.
I think you mean "Dune" not "The Story of O."
@@smotnick no, Dune was going to be made through another producer. it has nothing to do with Allen Klein, the producer of The Holy Mountain.
@@ZarathrustaTate I know. I think it was the French producer of "Fantastic Planet" BUT Jodorowsky was indeed slated to direct even though he had NEVER read the book. Check the documentary from a few years ago.
I adored this video.
Thank you, Alejandro Jodorowsky has been a huge influence in my life. A life that was gray, but found the beauty in colors found. Viva long Alejandro Jodorowsky ❤️
Excellent summary about Alejandro Jodorowsky’s film journey, thank you very much for this delivery 🙏🏽
Thank you for making this! I’m just getting into this man’s work and you’ve provided with a plethora of good info. Thank you again
I hope to see Jodorowsky doing one last film with A24, they are perfect match!.
Oh yeeees
that would be fantastic
Where can I watch these movie, this is extremely fascinating.
@@eliance9648 I have a couple on dvd i collect weird films El topo is a good start
Exactly
Thanks for this. Also worth mentioning is that the strength of his failed vision for Dune indirectly resulted in the production of Alien especially Giger's involvement.
This video essay was absolutely brilliant, thank you
Wow! I got here by serendipity, and what an unexpected gem this turned out to be... Loved it. Well done. Thank you!
I've only seen The Holy Mountain without any context of the film maker's background, this will be greatly appreciated! You always know how to make any topic fascinating.Thanks again!
Thank you for this video! It is very comprehensive story about one of greatest filmmakers.
Thank you so much for making this video. Loved every second of it.
Video quality is superb. Thanks!
“The Holy Mountain” is an absolute masterpiece and I loved it. I also felt that “El Topo” is great as well.
And “The Rainbow Thief” came out in 1990.
Okay but have you seen the holy mountain on acid? its terrifying
I saw La Danza De Realidad on acid, I turned out fine
the ending is optimistic as hell though
yes, yes i have
Mushrooms🍄 multiple times not acid yet that's next.
yep i had to turn it off n go for a walk
Wow, what a fantastic documentary essay you made.
I am sold and I am inspired.
Thank you Jeff!
really appreciate this.
interesting topic as i love Jodorowsky but you really need to lay off of wikipedia, you make countless direct quotes from it - none the less a great video and im glad youre sharing Jodorowsky to the world in such a consumable medium, ive tried recommending his films to my friends but unfortunately his films are so inaccessible at times so its good that you are introducing him to new people in such a comprehendable manner, keep up the good work :))
wow let me guess this bubble gum guy has no videos ...
petey twofinger is he complimenting the video maker or taking him down?
Accusing him of plagiarising Wikipedia is harsh.
I hate Jodorosky but you're totally right.
We can see Jorodowsky's DNA in many films and art.
What an amazing video, thanks for making it! I had forgotten how much I love Holy Mountain. I wasnt aware of his other films but I'll be watching them now. ^_^
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm a big fan of Jodorowsky work and i'm glad to understand a little bit more about him. Great editing by the way.
I still remember the first time I watched the Holy Mountain. My jaw was dropped for the first 30 minutes. I quickly realized that many of my favorite songs and artists had been referencing this movie for years. He's a legend, fasho
Thank You for introducing me to this master!
You never forget the first time you experience the genius of Jodorowsky. Also, you never forget the individual who introduces you to that genius. It is for this reason, in part, that I introduce as many people as I possibly can to his works. Also, if you want to see what he can do with a "mainstream" story, check out his comic "Madwoman of the Sacred Heart", his last collaboration with his spiritual and artistic brother, Moebius.
What a beautiful video, thank you! I've come here after watching The holy mountain, my mind was already blown, but after this I think I'm in love with Jorodowsky's work
i am so obsessed with your channel omg
Yes, The Holy Moutain is one of the best Artistic film ever created.
He is 90 and still not dead?!?
Suddenly I want to be like Jodorowsky.
He's still active, just finished his Documentary and he wanted to finish his Trilogy. Amazing
@@MasterShouter I feel like his death has been planned to continue and empower his last film. The last of his trilogy.
@@aneliazacarias1268 encourage*
"Anyone who thinks they will get older and die has a big problem," he says. "Tarantino says that he will stop when he gets old because the pictures are for young people, I don't believe it. I am going to live 120 years." That's from a 2013 interview. The man is truly a master wizard.
Giorgio Girardi I love it. I’m going to live to 120 too.
Beautifully done. I'm much more curious about Jodorowsky's work now. Thanks!
I loved this, man!! Thank you!!!
Most people don't know what I consider to be his best movie, Fando y Lis. It's impossible to describe it, so just watch it if you can. Certainly the best movie I've ever seen, and one of the most surreal and absurd movies ever recorded. I also recommend watching the movie with his commentary, it clears up a bit of the idea behind the movie, and it also gives you perspective on how it was made, it's just great.
"The Holy Mountain" remains one of my favs of all of his body of work.
While many of the other films are still great, at the time of my life when I'd first seen "Holy Mountain" it was among the most relevant of that body.
What a great video! Thank you!
Great video, man. I've only seen the Holy Mountain and it had a huge impact on me. This video has inspired me to go through the rest of his work. Starting up El Topo right now!
I really needed this today. Thank you for introducing me. How he bypassed me for so long I know only as something is needed it will appear. A message, a thought, an idea whose time has come.
Interesting, this also showed up at a good time for me. ✌️
You’re doing a great job, I just found your channel and I can’t wait to see what comes next!!
Thanks for making This. Been an admire of Jodorowsky for 20+ years. But you still managed to educate me more on this man.
Very good job, loved it.
Think i might sneak over to patron now
That was excellent, thank you so much!
Just watched Santa Sangre last night. I'm stunned. I don't know what to say except I need more of this cinema.
A friend of mine suggested I watch The Holy Mountain and it was honestly one of the most unique and bizarre cinematic experiences I’ve ever, experienced💀
Welcome to the fold.
Thank you, this was amazing!
Thanks for this doc. Really well put together and well done. Keep up. Jodorowsky is a true example of perseverance, also a dreamer AND a maker.
Finally someone did this, Holy montain to me is one of the best movies ever cos it's not limited like all Hollywood film art
The Holy Mountain was such a trip when i watched it while peaking. Cant believe John Lennon funded this.
Thank you so much for this video!!!!
This was a great video. Can’t wait to get into his films
Thank you for this, holy mountain was quite the experience to watch.
I just scored his blu ray collection SEALED at my local used film store hella cheap, I'm ecstatic
This is a fantastic video essay. Xx
Love this! Love this! Love this!
Great video on Jodo's work. I encourage people to research this man a bit more tho. He is not only a film director, he is a multifacetic artist: writer of many books, tarot reader and restorer, therapist, psychomagician (he invented this therapy), painter, poet, musician (he composed many of his films) and of course: director, actor, comic writer and mime. And probably I am forgeting lots of other stuff :) That documentary Dun is highly reccomended but still, you gotta research him a lot more and definitely ready one of his books.
This a great video, I really enjoyed too much. I dont think the whole work of Jodorowsky can be covered in only one documentary, lets said his books for instance. "El maestro y las magas" is a wonderful trip along his zen learning path with Ejo Takata, but also talks about Maria Sabina and Pachita. All the work that he did for the Marseille Tarot, like you mentioned at the end, his comics from the "Fabulas Panicas" to "The Incal". I already knew much of his work, but this video make me want to rediscover it. Thanks for the video!!!.....
If you know all that extra about Jodo you could make a better video. The person who made this is un blanco who's never delved into to spirit like you have. The cosmic consciousness. Heck some people who like jodo dont even know how deep and cosmic it all goes.
also check out psychomagic. That book was a major aspect of my own self healing journey
I really appreciate this deep dive into his career. It really helps me to listen to your interpretation of his works for me to recognize how ambiguous the majority of it really is and how he likes for it to be up to the individual who is viewing his work at that point in time. I love how he promotes people to view what is happening on screen as they feel it relates to themselves. I don't really think anyone else can do that
I know that you guys mentioned David Lynch and while I do appreciate David Lynch I think he's great I also think that there are so many regurgitated plot points that he uses but has stuff is more or less boring now. It's not like it was boring in the beginning but once I saw his entire catalog and noticed how many reoccurring themes there were it just kind of got old. Even though Jodorowsky uses reoccurring themes as well I feel that I'm still seeing things for the first time if that makes sense.
Fantastic video. Thanks, from a long time fan of this man.
Excellent synopsis of Jodorowsky and his filmography, highly enjoyed and appreciate the work you put into making it. Such a fascinating character, a true visionary and artistic genius! There could and will never be anyone quite like him. If only he was able to complete Dune to the extent that would have done justice to his vision the world of artistic cinema would have been all the more richer from it. A true tragedy that it fell apart but strangely befitting within the context and story of his life.. I think i enjoyed the documentary even more than his films..
I've heard about him for years, alright its time to check these out
You been zzzzzzz
This was a very good analysis of Jodorowski and his films. My cousin introduced me to his work and started as you recommended with Fando y Lis then El Topo the The Holy Mountain. Hes one of my favorite directors now and i try to turn people onto his films when i get the chance. Your breakdown will certainly help i think. TYVM
This was fantastic, thank you
IMO, Santa Sangre has the best kiss ever put in film.
Got worried after that five month wait. Your videos are too good.
thanks for making this!
Incredible job on the video!
I still wish that he made Dune...
Nice video man, it's good to see he's getting the recognition he deserves.
BTW, being Chilean myself, his last name is pronounced: ho-do-ROS-kee
No es apellido Chileno :]
@@wasterbull which is irrelevant. The issue at hand is the pronunciation of his name. Does a Chinese man living in Santiago suddenly become Mr. Layay? No, he's still Mr. Lee. You don't pronounce a name based on Spanish linguistic tendencies, regardless of it's origins... simply because a person's family migrated somewhere.
That's silly.
@@wasterbull also don't try to correct me & fail to capitalize "Chilean". Furthermore, it's Chileno.
@@CaalamusTube how jews pronunce Jodorowsky?
@@Leon-hp1wm you wrote this as a statement. Did you mean "How *DO JEWS PRONOUNCE* Jodorowsky?"
You seem to have missed the point entirely.
Lovely work man!
Fascinating guy. Still remember watching The Holy Mountain back in the 90s. Loved what I saw.
One of my favorite directors. El Topo is an amazing film.
Yo buddy! I just got Arrow's new Jodorowsky boxset in the mail, and went down the Jodorowsky rabbit hole and ended up on this video. I see people complaining about the audio levels, but I mostly want to know where you got this like trap remix of the Santa Sangre soundtrack? Hahah it's awesome, so if you can help me out, let me know! I did a "video essay"/shit review on Jodorowsky's work on my channel some 10 years ago, I've been a fan for a long time, and now with this new release I'm super excited to revisit his work. I'll be sure to finish this whole video as well, but as of right now I'd just love to know what that first song from your video is from :D Cheers G
Brilliant work. Thank you x
Thank you, this hits the heart so hard! Orgasmic beautiful peace beyond this state of being.
Holy Mountain, El Topo and Santa Sangre few of my faves
oh man you are so fuckin cool and original. check that: you are the pantokrator! check that: you are the Andy Warhol of youtube! check that: 21 year old liberal arts students bow down before your edginess! really, you should go to Starbucks in Chino stretch pants, Vans for kicks, and a jauntily worn fucking french beret, and a Bukowski volume clearly sticking out of your hip-pocket and tell them about how Holy Mountain, El Topo and Santa Sangre are your faves!! i mean, can you possibly fuckin imagine how fuckin cool you'd look, my dude? godddaaaaaammmmmn
He was supposed to do the film version of Dune, but somehow it was never made. The pictures of his version of DUNE are incredible and amazing and awe inspiring. I only know of him because of his attempt at Dune. Thanks.
One of the most original creative voices out there. I love the man's work.
beautiful video man !
Oh boy, Holy Mountain. 114 minutes of insanity and beauty.
Jodorowsky has been my favourite filmmaker since I first saw The Holy Mountain when I was 15, and is honestly such an inspiration.
I saw it when I was 16, now I'm 18 😊
Check his comics, are f brilliant, too
Filmflicker Cinema I just found him out now and I’m 41.... how could I miss this for half ma life???
@@SublimeLullaby check also "AKIRA", maybe this time is your chance :D
@@robb6560 Akira manga is a masterpiece.
bravo! bravo! great work dude...
Wow thank you for this amazing video
that background music was reaaaally loud
In the Holy mountain, the "awkward looking reptiles dressed as medieval kings" are actually mayans, with the larger toads introduced representing the Spanish conquest, which of course means to symbolically allude to colonialism and/ or remind us how revisionist our history can be.
Thank you, so much (from a Chilean who was born in Tocopilla).
I really enjoyed this. It's been a long time since I watched any of his movies but you really reignited my interest. A sincere "thanks" to you!
