Mike joins Jim Laczkowski of The Director's Club alongside the great writer, commentator, and historian Heather Drain to dig into the work of one of cinema's most singular visionaries.
The conversation centers on two landmark films — The Holy Mountain and Santa Sangre — though Jodo's broader filmography weaves its way throughout. Jodorowsky has something in common with filmmakers like PT Anderson, David Lynch, and Sam Raimi: he treats cinema like a playground of the subconscious, an empty canvas reflecting an uncompromising reality that is equal parts bleak and beautiful.
The first hour focuses on The Holy Mountain, while the second jumps into Santa Sangre and much more. There are laughs, fireworks, acid trips, and digressions galore — all in the spirit of a true artist who has likely changed lives, befuddled others, and created remarkable work that is entirely his own. No timestamps necessary for this one. Be sure to also seek out another Jodorowsky masterpiece, El Topo.
