Alejandro Jodorowsky.



"Terrible things and beautiful things go together."



"The world is ill. We need to make therapy pictures. If art is not the medicine of society, it is the poison."




Discussing his preparation for The Holy Mountain:
"Because I wanted to know the mind of a master, I hired a guru. He came to teach me how to be a guru, and he gave me LSD."



"An artist needs to be free, not to do what others want... To be authentic."



Jodorowsky's films El Topo, Fando & Lis and The Holy Mountain have all be restored and released on DVD. I urge you all to see them, but keep your mind wide open.
