2014: A LOOK BACK IN HORROR
Below you’ll find the latest addition of my annual “Look Back in Horror” overview. Film, Fiction, Tributes.
EL TOPO
EL TOPO is the most famous film ever made by the incomparable Alejandro Jodorowsky, an early-seventies counterculture mainstay that retains much of its off-kilter brilliance
SANTA SANGRE
A truly amazing 1989 film by Alejandro Jodorowsky–bold, violent, surreal and completely irresistible, it’s one of the decade’s finest films
2014: Bedlam in Print
2014 was an above-average year for books in my view. Quite a few terrific titles turned up from both established and debuting authors, with a few, I’m certain, that will go on to become classics
THE DANCE OF REALITY
A positively mind-expanding memoir by everybody’s favorite Chilean madman Alejandro Jodorowsky
THE HOLY MOUNTAIN
Chilean madman Alejandro Jodorowsky’s successor to EL TOPO was this crazed 1973 masterpiece
R.I.P. H.R. Giger
The death of Swiss artist Hans Rüdi Giger on May 12, 2014 was an incalculable loss to the horror field, the art world and all lovers of the fantastique
THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY
One of several autobiographical volumes written by the Chilean-born, Paris-based writer/filmmaker/spiritual guru Alejandro Jodorowsky
2010: Bedlam in Print
