Axel Jodorowsky

Alejandro Jodorowsky nasceu em 1929 em uma cidade costeira do Chile. Em A Dança da Realidade, Jodorowsky reconstitui a aventura dos seus primeiros anos de vida naquela cidade, onde descobriu os fundamentos da realidade durante uma infância infeliz e alienada como parte de uma família desarraigada.

After his dream project DUNE fell apart, visionary filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky took a break from cinema, only to return over a decade later with his most triumphant work: SANTA SANGRE.

On stormy night in an ugly urban landscape, Ciro Norte, a scientist with wild hair and thick glasses, straps himself to a chair he's has fashioned with wires: lightening strikes, convulsing him. It seems his experiment has not worked. The next day, he drives his jalopy to a bar, sits alone, and weeps. But suddenly, a vortex sucks him into a dream state where he wanders, escapes man-eating fish, confronts his doppelganger, walks through a field of giant flowers, and comes upon Venus herself, buried up to her shoulders in sand. She is a giant, and she takes him to her breast. He wakes from the vortex, back in the bar, his mood transformed.
