John Lennon championed him, Dennis Hopper used him and Marilyn Manson loves him. While critics have been quick to gush about some counter-cultural filmmakers, it has taken far too long for Alejandro Jodorowsky to get the credit he deserves.
Maybe it’s because he allegedly once stated that "I ask of cinema what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs." There’s no denying, however, that his 1970s cult classic El Topo is the cinematic godfather of the ‘Midnight Movies’. The Holy Mountain (scandal of Cannes in ’73) is a decadent flood of existential symbolism and a spiritual quest for enlightenment.
You might need the introductions on offer though, unless you have "introduced yourself" to some liquid acid beforehand.
