In 1974, Chilean-French director Alejandro Jodorowsky embarked on the quixotic project of adapting Frank Herbert's influential novel Dune (1969) for the big screen. After investing two years, and millions of dollars, the gigantic project ended in failure; but the artists Jodorowsky brought together to carry it out continued to work together, and ended up laying the foundations for modern science fiction cinema.

Beautifully illustrates the ways in which success can often arise from failure. Worth it just for Jodorowsky’s larger-than-life personality.

The way Jodorowsky unveils his brilliant adaptation and behind the scenes process is truly stunning. The potential was ahead of its time.

Really interesting story, kinda crazy that Jodorowsky really thought this vision was feasible in the 70s but it’s a nice thought.
