about my admiration for alejandro jodorowsky II

2oo8; I watched La Constellation Jodorowsky yesterday. Some quotes: But as an artist, what I burn is part of myself, my ego. About Fando y Lis: I produced the play, we made no money, but we loved it. So we ran out of cash; we had to stop. I remember I cried. --- I just did it with all my guts. [...] I am proud of this film because it is real. For me cinema is highly important. When making a film, one disappears. The person who made my films is not me. Louis Mouchet: There is a lot of violence in your films... There is no violence. The explosion of galaxies is violent. A comet falling on Jupiter making seven big holes is violent. The birth of a child is very violent. Someone passing away -- and I have assisted dying people -- I go sometimes. Even if the person is quietly dying, it's immense violence this loss of consciousness. Life is violent; the circulation of blood, the heart beating, all this is violent. [...] I create art. And as I was born in a male body, my art is virile. Because I was born in this virile skin. We have to see Man in all his weakness. We have a brain that can go across the universe, but we can also shit like a baby, like my professor. He goes from a state of diarrhea to that of the most sublime thoughts. It is not autobiographical because this professor is impotent and I have five children.
