You're eating my donkey!

La danza de la realidad (The dance of reality)

Crit

Let's see: does writer/director/costar/autobiographical subject Alejandro Jodorowsky leave anything out here? There's the Odyssey, the New Testament, and Cold War-era anti-Semitism and right-wing Chilean politics. There's opera and melodrama and an inventive homeopathic plague cure. There's Stalinism and bestiality (in spirit, if not in fact) and blackface-and-body incest (in spirit, if not in fact).

There is grotesquerie and there is awesome magnificence. It makes no sense, and it makes every sort of sense, and it is, if not the best, certainly one of the most memorable films I'll see this year.
