Not everyone‘a cup of tea, you need to be prepared for the journey. If you are, you’ll definitely enjoy it. This couldn’t have been done now

Very inventive and haunting visuals. Pretty nonsensical story but it invites the viewer to explore further

Massively masturabtory film by jodorowsky, but visually very stunning. Even better if you shut the audio off and put some Black Sabbath on.

Just watch it and do not try to understand it. Drink from it.

Earns profound moments by being funny, baffling, very strange, never boring. Less prententious than El Topo.

Too much to unpack, All I will say is it was alternative, unpredictable, and thought provoking If you go in with an open mind it is amazing

I liked some of the metaphores and critiques the movie offers, but I didn't get some others. Overall, I think its pretty good

Only very intellectual people can fathom this, so I couldn't. But you can still enjoy this.

Jodorowsky's Dune
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.
