Alejandro Jodorowsky (also known as Alexandro Jodorowsky) is a Chilean film and theatre director, screenwriter, playwright, actor, comic book writer, author, poet, mime, musician, and spiritual guru. He is best known for his avant-garde, cult films, such as "El Topo," a midnight movie favorite. Alejandro Jodorowsky. Alejandro Jodorowsky Prullansky (also written as Alexandro Jodorowsky) is mostly famous as a Chilean film director. With cult movies like 'El Topo' (1970) and 'The Holy Mountain' (1973) he became an icon of counterculture cinema. Jodorowsky was active in many artistic disciplines, among them poetry, novels, plays, music, mime, painting, sculpting, puppeteering and. comics! He drew his own weekly comic strip 'Fabulas Pánicas', but has been more productive as a comic writer for various renowned French, Spanish, Italian, Mexican and Argentinian artists. All of Jodorowsky's work is sparked by his interests in alchemy, tarot, Zen Buddhism, shamanism and hallucinogenic drugs. They give his work a surrealistic and futuristic quality, with elements of mysticism, symbolism and spirituality. Early life Jodorowsky was born in 1929 in Iquique, Chile, as the son of Jewish-Ukrainian immigrants. Following an unhappy childhood, he found refuge in poetry, and began his professional life in several creative occupations. He started as a in a circus, and eventually focused on performing as a mime. He had his own theatre group, the Teatro Mimico, and wrote his first play in 1953. Jodorowsky spent most of the 1950s in , where he toured as a mime with 's troupe. Driven by anarchism and surrealism, Jodorowsky founded the performance art collective Panic Movement with Fernando Arrabal and Roland Topor. 'Fabulas Panicas', drawn by Alexandro Jodorowsky. Early comics In the 1960s, Jodorowsky settled in Mexico City, where he created his first comic book work. He debuted in 1966 as the writer of the futuristic saga 'Anibal 5', which was drawn by Manuel Moro for Editorial Novaro. He in turn also drew his own comics, such as the weekly 'Fabulas Panicas' feature in the Mexican magazine El Heraldo de Mexico, between 1967 and 1973. Early film career In Paris Jodorowsky made his first film, 'Les Têtes Interverties' (also known as 'La Cravate', 1957), based on 's novel 'Die vertauschten Köpfe' (1940). This short was done entirely in pantomime and featured, apart from the director himself, also Belgian- French comedian Raymond Devos in a starring role. Inspired by Federico Fellini, Antonin Artaud and Luis Buñuel Jodorowsky shot various psychedelic and highly controversial pictures in Mexico, and the UK. His reputation was made with 'Fando y Lis' (1967), based on a play by Arrabal. The picture evoked riots during its premier and was eventually banned in Mexico. El Topo Jodorowsky's next film, 'El Topo' (1970), was equally outrageous. Described as an "acid western" the picture follows a very loose plot thread. A cowboy dressed in black (played by Jodorowsky himself) roams through the desert. He encounters many bizarre people and experiences surreal and shocking events. Predictably the film was a huge flop with mainstream audiences. But theatre owners noticed that certain young adults liked it. Therefore they took the unprecedented decision to program the picture at a more exclusive hour, namely midnight. This gave the film a more mysterious appeal and was a surefire way to attract a different, younger and more enthusiastic audience. Numerous teenagers, twens and young adults gathered together and felt united in their bizarre taste. It helped 'El Topo' to build up a cult audience and launched the "midnight movie" phenomenon. Soon many film theaters in the West started programming unusual movies around 12 o'clock at night. Several pictures which didn't do well on their initial release found devoted fans who kept coming back for repeat viewings. Many owe their cult status to this programming schedule. The erotic, violent and blasphemous content of 'El Topo' fit perfectly within the counterculture movement. It was made outside the studio system and thus as anti-Hollywood as you could get. The picture broke several taboos and conventions. Teenagers and twens liked the mystic and occult themes, mirroring their own search for self-fulfillment. Naturally the trippiness made it a perfect stoner movie too. 'El Topo' attracted celebrity fans such as John Lennon, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roger Waters, Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and later Peter Gabriel, Marilyn Manson, Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-Lópza (The Mars Volta). Directors like David Lynch, Nicolas Winding Refn and Samuel Fuller were all influenced by it. Lennon in fact tried to bring 'El Topo' to bigger theaters and actually succeeded, but after only a week it was removed and brought back to the midnight movie circuit. 'El Topo' remains a cult classic to this day. The fact that it wasn't commercially available on video until deep in the 2000s also added to its legendary reputation. A few laser disc versions were released in Japan, but even these had censored many scenes. As such the only way to actually see it in its entirety was finding a local theater who would play it. Only in 2007 did 'El Topo' finally receive an official, uncensored DVD release. Jodorowsky always wanted to create a sequel to 'El Topo' and at one point considered Marilyn Manson for the starring role. Unfortunately the project remained in development hell. In 2016 Jodorowsky therefore adapted his script into a comic book, 'Les Fils d'El Tope' ('Sons Of El Topo', 2016), illustrated by José Ladronn. Later film career In the following years Jodorowsky created other polarizing films, such as the mystical and mind-boggling 'The Holy Mountain' (1973), which was partially funded by Lennon and Yoko Ono. The film follows a thief and his seven spiritual advisors who want to climb a holy mountain in search of spiritual enlightment. He is guided by an alchemist, played by Jodorowsky himself. With a slightly higher budget and more satirical themes 'The Holy Mountain' became his second best known film and a cult classic too. The 1980s brought forth 'Poo Lorn L'Elephant' ('Tusk', 1980) and the cult horror film 'Santa Sangre' (1989). In 1990 he directed 'The Rainbow Thief' (1990), which could afford stars like Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif and Christopher Lee, but disappointed long-time fans by being more conventional in tone. It took two decades before Jodorowsky found the money to create new films. 'La Danza de la Realidad' ('The Dance of Reality', 2013) and 'Poesía Sin Fin' ('Endless Poetry', 2016) marked a return to his old form and received good reviews. Collaboration with Moebius Jodorowsky's comics career also gained notice in the 1970s. He really made his mark through his collaborations with Moebius in France. Their first collaboration was on Jodorowsky's ill-fated attempt at making a movie adaptation of Frank Herbert's epic sci-fi novel 'Dune' in 1975. H.R. Giger, Chris Foss and Moebius designed sets and characters, Dan O'Bannon provided special effects and David Carradine, Mick Jagger, Gloria Swanson, Salvador Dalí, Amanda Lear and Orson Welles would play major roles. The soundtrack would be composed by Pink Floyd and Magma. This ultimate geek's wet dream was however never realized. The project fell through when most of the budget was spent on pre-production. In 1984 the film would eventually be directed by David Lynch but with different contributors.A documentary called 'Jodorowsky's Dune', was made about Jodorowsky's failed attempt at an adaptation in 2013. Jodorowsky and Moebius continued their collaboration with 'Les Yeux du Chat' at Les Humanoïdes Associés in 1978, but created a comics classic with 'The Incal', in which Jodorowsky introduced his own science fiction universe, later referred to as the "Jodoverse". The saga focuses on the P.I. John Difool, who receives the Light Incal, a crystal of enormous powers. After a first serialization in Métal Hurlant magazine, Les Humanoïdes Associés published six books under the title 'Une Aventure de John Difool' in the 1980s. John Difool's early years were later explored in 'Avant l'Incal', a prequel series that Jodorowsky made with artist Zoran Janjetov between 1988 and 1995. A sequel cycle called 'Après L'Incal' was started by Jodorowsky and Moebius in 2000, and completed by two more installments drawn by José Ladrönn in 2011 and 2014. Ladrönn also provided the artwork for the final cycle, 'Final Incal' (2008-2014). Other comics Another famous creation set in Jodorowsky's space opera universe is 'The Saga of the Meta-Barons', about a dynasty of perfect warriors. Drawn by Argentinian artist Juan Giménez, the series was published in eight books by Les Humanoïdes Associés between 1992 and 2003. Two more cycles followed to complete the trilogy: two books of 'Castaka' were drawn by Das Pastoras in 2007 and 2013, while Travis Charest and Zoran Janjetov provided the art for 'Weapons of the Metabaron' in 2008. In addition, Jodorowsky and Janjetov, accompanied by colorist Fred Beltrán, cooperated on yet another sci-fi cycle, 'The Technopriests' ('Les Technopères') from 1998 to 2006. In 1982, Jodorowsky had teamed up with artist Arno to create the magical fantasy series 'Alef-Thau'. The duo made seven albums, while a final installment was drawn by Al Covial in 1998. Remaining in the fantasy genre, he wrote 'Le Dieu Jaloux' (1984) and 'L'Ange Carnivore' (1986) for Silvio Cadelo, two books that were later reprinted under the title 'La Saga d'Alendor'. Jodorowsky has worked on several projects with the artist Georges Bess, starting with 'Les Jumeaux Magiques' in Le Journal de Mickey in 1986, and then followed by the fantasy series 'The White Lama' ('Le Lama Blanc', 1988-1993), the graphic novel 'Juan Solo' (1995-1999), and a restart of 'Anibal 5' (1990-1992). Jodorowsky and Bess have returned to Tibet for an esoteric follow-up to their best-known collaboration, called 'La Légende du Lama Blanc' from 2014. From 1991, he started several stories serialized in magazine À Suivre, such as 'Face de Lune' (with François Boucq) 'La Passion de Diosamante' (with Jean-Claude Gal) and 'Le Coeur Couronné (with Moebius). Other notable creations are the hard-boiled western series 'Bouncer', that he makes with François Boucq at Glénat since 2001, and the historical fiction 'Borgia' in cooperation with Milo Manara from 2004 to 2010. He made a graphic novel about a mime player during World War II, called 'Pietrolino' (2007-2008), with Olivier Boiscommun, and a comic book sequel to his 1970 film called 'Les Fils d'El Tope' with José Ladrönn in 2016. Further collaborations include 'La Vérité est au Fond des Rêves' with Jean-Jacques Chaubin, the detective comic 'Gilles Hamesh' with Michel Durand (1995), 'Aliot' with Victor de la Fuente (1996), the historical 'Le Pape Terrible' with Théo Caneschi (2009-2013), the heroic fantasy 'Sang Royal' with Dongzi Liu (since 2010) and more sci-fi series like 'Megalex' with Fred Beltrán (1999-2008), 'Showman Killer' with Nicolas Fructus (2010-2012) and 'Ogregod' with Zoran Janjetov (2010-2012). Recognition Back in France since 1990, Alejandro Jodorowsky was named an Officer in the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettes in 2005. In that same year an asteroid was named after him. Final Incal. Final Incal is a three issue graphic novel, which is part of The Incal saga, and a direct sequel to The Incal . It was written by Alejandro Jodorowsky , illustrated by José Ladrönn and published by Les Humanoïdes Associés between 2008 and 2014. In Final Incal John DiFool finds himself in the middle of a galactic war between the Bethacodon and Elohim. The only way to save the galaxy is to find Luz De Garra, who, like other characters from previous volumes (Kill Wolfhead, Gorgo the Foul, Kiamann), makes a reappearance. Final Incal is more serious and epic in tone, and blends elements of fantasy and science fiction. Contents. Overview [ edit | edit source ] Since After the Incal had been left unfinished, the first 50 pages of The Four John DiFools also serve as a retelling or "reboot" of the story in The New Dream , with some minor differences. According to the publisher Les Humanoïdes Associés, After the Incal and Final Incal "coexist as two variants" of the same idea. Regarding the ending Jodorowsky said: "The Incal isn't finished, in the last issue John runs away with Luz, and together they go onto the conquest of the universe. He becomes the Incal. but what is the Incal? It's white and black, it's the moon and the sun, it's the totality of being. At the end a rebirth takes place. John enters the light. His soul is the light". The Four John DiFools (2008) Luz De Garra (2011) Gorgo the Foul (2014) Main Characters [ edit | edit source ] Kill, Deepo, John, Luz and Gorgo. Art Style [ edit | edit source ] The Great Acid Lake resembles the postmodern architecture of Centre Pompidou. Ladrönn's art style is noted for its strength and grandeur. Ladrönn offers powerful visions, worthy of an epic film, in the illustrations of the Mother Tree, Tortuga Island or City Shaft. Ladrönn's City Shaft is more tumbledown, more cold, inhuman and rusted, while still being faitful to Moebius' designs. Luz De Garra. It was published in 2011 by Les Humanoïdes Associés. It was written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and illustrated by José Ladrönn. Plot [ edit | edit source ] The Meca-prezident is ready to send his cargo of virus vessels throughout the universe, but the Emperoress is using his endoguard to prepare a blockade in the 22.000 planets of the equatorial region, and thus thwart the Meca-prezident's plans. The Meca-prezident is also informed that the last reaminingTechnos have taken refuge on Technogea and have elected a new Technopope, and that John DiFool managed to escape the attack on Mother Tree. The four DiFools arrive at Tortuga Island. Seraphim decides that they all must work together. Upon arriving they find the Island on ruins, and suspect that it was raided. They’re attacked by some of the remaining cannibal pirates, and the Seraphim DiFool is raped, although the rest manage to help him. Once the pirates are gone they find Lieutenant Olaf, who leads them to the holo-auditorium where he shows them a presentation of what happened in the asteroid: Due to fighting between Black Vampires and Archangels in space, the pirates were forced to stop their lucrative activities and tried to live in isolation, but then three Gounas -gigantic spatial spiders- arrived. The pirates tried to activate the hyper- shields and used their automatic cannons, but when the Gounas finally attacked they were quickly defeated, not even an Iko-torpedo worked on them, and only Kaiman’s ship survived. The Emproress aks General Thato. Once the Gounas entered the asteroid they raped the women, making them immediately birth half-metal, half-cellular aberrations, which swarmed the remaining ship. Kaimann thought he might be able to negotiate with the Goungas, but Luz got ahead of him and came out of the ship first. The Goungas, seeing Luz's halo, thought she was a goddess and they took her to their planet, in exchange, they left the rest of the survivors alone. The DiFools also learn the Kaimann is now almost enterily saurian, with little humanity left in him. The Seraphim, who knows about spatial engines, manages to repair the remaining ship. Meanwhile, in the Golden Planet, an Assembly is in session. The different parties are concerned about the Bethacodon and are blaming the Technos. The new Technopope argues they could ally themselves with the arsitos who have refused to turn into metallic beings and that a fleet of Techno ships has embarked from Technogea-5 in the direction of Terra 2014. General Thato informs the Emperoress that the Meca-prez is getting ready to launch a viral attack on the entire planet. Only one DiFool remains. The four DiFools find the Incal when Deepo spits it out. The Incal considers that in this dimension, neither the angel, the swami or the adonis DiFools are adequate for the mission, so he vaporizes them, leaving the “ugly” DiFool behind. The Incal explains that the other DiFools are now within him. The Incal thinks they should attract a Black Vampire to defeat the Gounas, and goes back into Deepo. DiFool concentrates and using the spinic telescope finds Luz’s coordinates. John reaches the Gouna’s planet and finds Luz, rescuing her. Meanwhile a Techno craft is heading to Terra 2014 to contact the aristos, but they’re blown up by hydro-atomic missiles. When they go back to Tortuga Island, Luz, who’s still in love with Kaimann, wants to see him but he has already been completely transformed. In the Techno-mushroom, the Technopope is informed that they have received a message from deep space from the great Elohim, offering to help fight back against the Benthacodon, and explaining that the he will soon sent a messenger. The Technopope broadcast the news to his followers, distancing from his predecessor’s politics. A ship arrives to the Techno-mushroom, is DiFool and Luz, who want an audience with the Techno- highness. The Techno-pope watches Kaimann. Luz and the Technopope reach a deal: The Techo-surgeons will reverse Kaimann’s mutation if Luz and John go back to Terra 2014 to convince the aristos to unite with the Technos against the Meca-prez and the Benthacodon. The Technopope informs them that there are rebels in the planet who have survived and they could also align with the metallic aristos. Suddenly Elohim’s emissary, the Archangel, arrives. The archangel absorbs John and Luz, “the universal antidote”, into its psycho-void. The Benthacodon detects the Archangel approaching, and is hit by one of the Meca- prez’s shots.
