Legendary cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky (The Holy Mountain, El Topo) reimagines his youth in 1940s Chile in the surreal and breathlessly inventive Endless Poetry, which gets a UK Blu-ray release from Curzon Artificial Eye.
In 1940s Santiago de Chile, 20-year-old Alejandrito Jodorowsky vows to become a poet against the will of his disciplinarian father. Leaving home, he is introduced to the inner circle of the artistic and intellectual avant-garde of the time, meeting many promising young writers who will become the masters of Latin America’s modern literature. Immersed in a world of poetic experimentation, they live together as few have dared to live before: sensually, authentically, freely, madly.
Continuing the autobiographical exploration begun in 2013's The Dance of Reality, Endless Poetry is a visually rich portrayal of artistic exuberance told through Jodorowsky’s dreamlike visual language.
Endless Poetry is out on Blu-ray in the UK from Monday 6 March 2017
