CGiii Comment

Jodorowsky's return to the silver screen - a vital voice and vision that has been, sadly, absent for over 20 years.

Part opera, part hallucinogen - this is an autobiographical voyage into a mesmerising world of imagination, memory, creation and truth.

Deeply personal, Jodorowsky's son plays his father...it is a testament to the tricks of time and time plays many tricks with mind...go with it, you bewildered, confused but not disappointed.

A mad, delicious personal history.

The(ir) Blurb...

Alejandro Jodorowsky was born in 1929 in Tocopilla, a coastal town on the edge of the Chilean desert where this film was shot. It was there that Jodorowsky underwent an unhappy and alienated childhood as part of an uprooted family. Blending his personal history with metaphor, mythology and poetry, The Dance of Reality reflects Jodorowsky's philosophy that reality is not objective but rather a "dance" created by our own imaginations.
