Description

The tale of Jodorowsky and his Dune is a fascinating trip through creativity and imagination, a story about the relentless pursuit of a dream, and the necessity of art. In pre-production for over two years, the film was to star Jodorowsky's own 12-year-old son Brontis alongside Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, David Carradine and even Salvador Dali, set to a musical score by Pink Floyd and art-design by some of the most provocative talents of the era, including H.R. Giger and Jean 'Moebius' Giraud.

    I’ve read the books twice and enjoyed most of Lynch’s Dune big screen interpretation. This guy is nothing but more than ego and flamboyance, all talk. His movie would’ve been AWFUL. Don’t waste your money on this doc. Woulda coulda shoulda, give me money for another crappy documentary.

    A gnarled, psychotic acid freak just yammering on and on about his story board sketches. Art sketches are not interesting to me when it costs 13 bucks to watch. Movies that are fully imagined and executed are more worth the money.

    If you want to see ridiculously talented people go somewhat to waste, this is a documentary about that. I enjoyed it a lot.
  • The greatest movie never made? Yeah. I guess so

    What can a Layman say about this film that has not already been said? I guess I can only repeat what Refn says in the documentary about the film: ‘It’s Awesome’. However, this film deserves to get made. After watching the successful trilogy of Peter Jackson’s (who would be an incredibly appropriate director for this project) I think Dune (either the Herbert or Jodorowsky version) would work as a massive three-part epic movie trilogy, which is appropriate since the book is actually three smaller parts in one cover (Dune, Muad’Dib, and The Prophet). Also, if you are reading this, Mister Jodorowsky. Please publish your film book on Dune! That book needs to be preserved and distributed to the world! Please!

    Enough time has passed for this to be a rental. 15.00 on here, 40.00 for the bluray, so far Jodorowsky has'nt made a penny off me.

    A great recounting of Jodorowsky’s ambitious and idiosyncratic ability to create films. Also worth it just to see some of the original Moebius drawings that went into the storyboard, really phenomenal stuff. I highly recommend this film to any Jodorowsky fans, Dune enthusiasts or those who enjoy the artistic process
  • Amazing

    I love dune. From the books to even the syfy versions. That being said, I'm extremely glad this self centered man's crappy movie never got made.
