Jodorowsky Rétrospective 30 Septembre – 9 Octobre
ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY RÉTROSPECTIVE 30 SEPTEMBRE – 9 OCTOBRE La Montagne sacrée 56 CINÉMA SANS FIN Artiste protéiforme et iconoclaste, Jodorowsky aura passé sa vie à transgresser les règles de l’art pour trouver l’illumination. Ses expérimentations poétiques le mènent du théâtre d’avant-garde au cinéma underground et psychédélique, de la bande-dessinée de science-fiction à la cartomancie. Il croise sur sa route aussi bien les surréalistes, que Moebius et le mime Marceau, Topor et Arrabal. Chacun de ses films est une expérience spirituelle et sensorielle unique : western baroque (El Topo), drame psychanalytique (Santa Sangre), SF métaphysique (La Montagne sacrée), fantasy utopique (Dune)... L’œuvre anticonformiste, fascinante et visuellement renversante d’un gourou-cinéaste. À travers ses films mais aussi ses scénarios de bande dessinée (en particulier pour Mœbius) ou sa pratique du tarot, Jodorowsky est considéré comme un mystique, voir un mage. Il est vrai que la majorité de ses films retracent des parcours initiatiques : celui de Fando et Lis vers la cité mythique de Tar à travers un paysage d’apoca- JODOROWSKY ALEJANDRO lypse, celui des neuf élus gravissant la montagne sacrée, celui d’El Topo, le pisto- lero devenu un idiot visionnaire, ou celui de Jaime dans La Danza de la realidad qui traverse les cercles du communisme, du fascisme et du christianisme. L’initiation ne vise cependant qu’à un retour au monde matériel : il faut toujours quitter la grotte, redescendre de la montagne, brûler ses idoles et combattre ses propres rêves de puissance. Pour le cinéaste qui vagabonda entre le Chili, la France et le Mexique, il importe de saisir la vie dans toute sa chair, surtout si elle est crue et sanglante, et c’est dans des espaces à ciel ouvert qu’il fait naître ses visions.

Alejandro Jodorowsky
Alejandro Jodorowsky Filmmaker, writer, mime, master of tarot, psychomagician, Alejandro Jodorowsky is an artist whose robust sense of living is matched only by the exceptional breadth of his creative practice. Author of dozens of books – from philosophy to poetry – and, with the French artist Moebius, the highly praised L’incal series of graphic novels, Jodorowsky’s works are marked by a great generosity as well as a remarkable ability to provoke. His first film, Fando y Lis (1967), shocked its audience into a riot when it premiered at the Acapulco Film Festival and was subsequently banned in Mexico. His following two films, El Topo (1970) and The Holy Mountain (1973) – beloved and supported by John Lennon – became immediate cult classics, initiating in the United States the “midnight movie” phenomenon in which his films would play for years. Jodorowsky’s recent film, The Dance of Reality (2013) – based on his 2001 autobiography – is a surreal exploration of the dream territories and traumas of his childhood. “The story of my life,” he writes, “is a constant effort to expand the imagination and its limitations, to capture its therapeutic and transformative potential.” Alejandro and I met at his apartment in Paris the evening after his 85th birthday. In his office, surrounded by walls of books and esoteric objects, we discussed his films, his influences, chance and intention, gravity and reality. Photography by Interview by Giasco Michael Bertoli Nardone MICHAEL NARDONE — For The Dance of Reality, you returned to your of scissors, another time all cups.
