About me: Senor Jodorowsky is a philosopher, scholar in comparative religion, playwright, director, producer, composer, actor, mime, comic book writer, tarot card reader and historian, and psychotherapist. However, he is primarily known the world over as a visionary film director. He was born in 1929 in the small town of Iquique, Chile, from parents of Russian descent. Having already published his own poetry at the age of 16, he developed an interest in mime and puppetry. He left for Europe in 1953 and became first an understudy and later a partner of Marcel Marceau, writing two plays, "The Cage" and "The Mask Maker" for Marceau. Jodorowsky moved to Mexico in 1960 and began his career as an avant-garde theater director, directing over 100 plays including works by Samuel Beckett, Arribal, and Ionesco. In addition, he authored three books and a comic strip and became a world-renowned expert of the Tarot.
He ventured into filmmaking in 1957 with the short French film, "La Cravate", a mime adaptation of the Thomas Mann play "Transposed Heads" about a street urchin who sells human heads. His feature film career began with quite a stir in Mexico at the 1968 Acapulco Film Festival. As rumors circulated that Jodorowsky was an actual vampire, the leading lady showed up noticeably emaciated, causing rampant conjecture. And the actual content of the movie "Fando y Lis" caused a riot, and Jodorowsky had to be whisked away in a limo as the crowd threw stones.
Since that illustrious debut, Jodorowsky has directed five more films. Two of these films, "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain" have gone on to become cult classics on the midnight movie circuits. "Santa Sangre" is perhaps his best known work though, as it and "Fando y LIs" were the only films widely available on video until this year.
His films have drawn comparisons to the works of Federico Fellini and David Lynch as they often contain absurd, surreal, and phantasmogoric themes and imagery. Interestingly enough, the careers of Jodorowsky and Lynch did come to a crosspath over the film adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel "Dune." In 1975, Jodorowsky was tapped for the project, with a cast of Orson Welles, Salvador Dalí, Mick Jagger, Alain Delon, Gerald Chaplain, H.R. Giger and Jean Giraud (Moebius), with Pink Floyd scoring the soundtrack! However, the project ran out of funds, and Jodorowsky later claimed that Hollywood abandoned the project because the film was "too French." A few years later, Lynch ended up directing the cinematic adaptation of Dune, and his work was universally panned by both critics and audiences. Could Jodorowsky, as a master auteur of mythological and archetypal themes, have saved the film? Alas, we will never know.
His seventh feature film, "King Shot" is currently in production, and is supposed to feature Marilyn Manson as a 300-year-old pope. It is scheduled to be released sometime in 2009.

"The apocalypse is now! Americans know this, that the only hope is the flying saucers. Do you know how I see the world? Like a person who is dying. It's a worm who is dying to make a butterfly. We must not stop the worm from dying, we must help the worm to die to help the butterfly to be born. We need to dance with death. This world is dying, but very well. We will make a big, big enormous butterfly. You and I will be the first movements in the wings of the butterfly because we are speaking like this."
