You know what would be a better documentary than this film? being able to actually see the script that is physically present in 70% of the shots. This isn't a documentary, this documents nothing.

This isn't a documentary, this documents nothing. I've seen a lot of terrible films recently but this is the only one I haven't been able to finish. The insight you get into Jodorowsky's work is minimal, he comes across as excitable and ineloquent and not much more. If you've ever talked to somebody planning a DnD campaign then you've already heard most of this. It's a glorified series of interviews and most of the interviews are just aggrandizement of a work that never came to fruition. Sure some of the concept art is fine but again, you don't get to see all of it. If you want to see a lot of unfinished products you can head to deviant art, or go to any artistic forum anywhere. A bunch of other men (and a couple wives of deceased men) show up just to talk about how great Jodorowsky is (I don't get the impression that a lot of women like working with Jodorowsky so maybe that's why there weren't many here). So many of the shots are just Jodorowsky sitting in his chair harrassing his poor cat (this is hyperbole, don't @ me). One shot involved something that put me in mind of those typography videos that people make for high school classes editing classes. People in this film keep talking about his film as the best film never made but you know what? Every film we've each idealized in our own head is the best film never made, who gives a **** I know after spending money filming this Frank Pavich would've been cheating himself by not releasing it, but I wish he hadn't.… Expand
