What The Jodorowsky Constellation Is About

Louis Mouchet’s documentary lets Alejandro Jodorowsky talk his way through his own life across a long interview: El Topo, The Holy Mountain and Santa Sangre, the Panic Movement he co-founded in Paris with Fernando Arrabal, his years as a mime, the Incal comics he made with Jean Giraud, who signed himself Moebius, his tarot readings and the method he calls psychomagic. Marcel Marceau, Arrabal, Peter Gabriel and Giraud come before the camera to describe what they did with him. The strangest part is the ending: Jodorowsky performs a psychomagic session on the director himself, which makes Mouchet both observer and subject. Footage from Panic Movement performances runs through the film. The record describes that material in fairly lurid terms; the film treats it less as spectacle than as evidence of a method.
