Jodorowski is great...part of my youth in Brussels was spent at reading his Bandes Dessinées (Cartoon in French) and those of Moebius...great artists!

I totaly agree... Irritating & attractive at the same time, very much like the great Salvador Dali was ! (I miss Dali a lot)

Just for fun, a link to a famous 70s french commercial featuring Dali himself (he says "I'm crazy about Lanvin chocolate") :

Enjoy !

Yeah Joberg... Do you realize he was supposed to play the part of the Emporor Shaddam the 4th in Jodorowsky's adaptation of D U N E ? That would have been... surreal !!! Fred _________________ THE FUTURE IS A THING OF THE PAST

Jodorowsky's version would have had to be better than David Lynch's 1984 version of Dune. I had the misfortune to see that horrible film on opening night a Grauman's Chinese. Probably the worst film-going experience of my life. Tony _________________ If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes. . .

Well, I won't totally agree with you regarding Lynch's DUNE... It's not a good movie, absolutely not... BUT it's the only time we were offered a truly original vision of the Space Opera genre, something very victorian in essence... thanks to Tony Masters and his team !

I like to think of Lynch's DUNE as a film made during the Victorian era, that's why I still enjoy it a lot despite all its bad sides.

I think it's best to see Dune in episode...you know, small dose kinda thing ...lot's of people do that with 2001 also. I was never capable of sitting through the whole film at once; maybe that's just me...

...lot's of people do that with 2001 also. Confused

Shame on them !

Shocked

(I would LOVE to see 2001 again on a theatre screen, the only way to really experience it imo)

I don't want to hijack the topic, but there's a few things I don't like in 2001 (as well in Dune) but that's another story

The aforementioned exhibit is long gone, but there is a new Jodorowaky exhibit at El Museo de Barrio (New York). And the failed Dune project documentary complete (and worth a watch) - Jodorowskysdune.com
