Surrealist, Subversive and Cult

Alejandro Jodorowsky leaves no one indifferent. By the early 1970s he was a star of American counter-culture and his cinema has influenced filmmakers such as David Lynch.

He tells Clovis Casali how John Lennon helped him and why Marilyn Manson asked him to be the master of ceremony at his wedding to Dita Von Teese.
