"Too much perfection is a mistake."Director: Alejandro Jodorowsky
Starring: Alejandro Jodorowsky, Mara Lorenzio
Lennon/Ono loved it. Bob Dylan loved it. Not surprised Dennis Hopper loved it. Definitely not surprised David Lynch loved it. I think the best part of this movie for me was that I watched it on a train where many of my fellow passengers had easy eye-lines to the screen. I can't imagine what one would think seeing just a clip from this, soundless, without any sort of context.
The religious imagery and references are most obvious, but I feel like it would take months of analysis and three more years of intensive comparative religion before I started piecing it all together in some comprehendible order. And even then, I'm sure there is plenty that no one will ever get as whole truth.
Alas. A strange, swell, mystic, bloody watch. From here on out I will be able to make warm and peculiar associations with men in leather, fruit innuendo, Psalms, duels and hidden inbred colonies. Si.
