Audience Member Being a big fan of Jodorowsky, I finally got to see this film after a few years of digging. It's a biography where his sons plays both him or other characters as this vivid story gives is an impression of how it was to be Alejandro, a hard working and inspiring poet in Chile. It perfectly makes no sense the same way it gives complete meaning. It's kind of typical Jodorowsky in it's way, but not that bizzarre or grotesque. Sure, there is some genitals - both of them, clowns, masks, naked midgets, father and son kissing, cake splatting and all of the things you expect, but there is little blood or other human fluids. Few animals as well. It can be tricky to hang on to, but it does not demand your total focus the entire two hours, even if the amazing poetic words and frases comes so tight that you might loose a few if you look away. It develops nicely and it has a nice score. The camerwork is pretty darn neat too! The colorworks and set props are amazing and it's got that increcible ability to give all the weirdness some beauty. Just like only Jodorowsky can. 8.5 out of 10 purple boats. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a semi-autobiographical story about the early part of the writer/director's life, before he got into film, when he was an aspiring poet. Unlike Holy Mountain, the other, much earlier film I've seen from him, this is both visually extraordinary and narratively coherent. Don't get me wrong. This tale is very far from normal. But it follows an understandable arc with characters who say things to each other that make sense. After all, it's at least partly a true story, one the author presumably knows very well. Anyway, if you aren't put off by European-style surrealist art movies, there's a good chance you will really love this. I did.

Alejandro passes on his life lessons to his audience and I feel honored to have received it!! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Jodorowsky's singular imagination has not ceased even into his late 80s as evidenced by Endless Poetry, a film filled with beautiful color, lavish set pieces, and an strangely personal center.
