Examines the film practice of the Chilean-French filmmaker and
artist Alejandro Jodorowsky The first scholarly collection
dedicated to the films of Alejandro Jodorowsky Offers theoretical
interpretations from the fields of cinema studies, art history,
Latin American studies, gender studies, comparative literature,
disability studies, and sound studies, from leading scholars in the
field Includes both textual and contextual analysis of Jodorowsky's
entire filmography Known as the father of the midnight cult movie"
and co-founder of the avant-garde Panic movement in France,
Alejandro Jodorowsky Prullansky defies all basic categorization. He
is known as a provocateur, a performance artist, a visionary
filmmaker, a controversial playwright, a philosopher, and a tarot
reader, among other disparate classifications. These varied
dimensions of artist and filmmaker converge seamlessly into his
practice. He is recognized by audiences as a creator of
controversial and mesmerizing films characterized by visual
delirium, the injection of radical politics and mystical
philosophy, and a post-surrealist aesthetics. ?ReFocus: The Films
of Alejandro Jodorowsky pursues an interdisciplinary approach to
analyze and contextualize Jodorowsky's films according to a variety
of conceptual modalities: from occult and mystical orientations, to
the political and decolonial aspects of his major films. This
collection examines the formative metaphysical elaborations
involved in Jodorowsky's earliest films, his pioneering of a truly
unique independent film practice in Mexico, and his emergence and
development as a visionary international filmmaker. ?"
