“Although really society should not change, it should mutate. And, little by little, it is mutating...... Society is like the body of a chicken: the chicken's foot is hard and insensitive while the eye is very alive. And there are beings who embody the cells of the eyes and others who embody the cells of the feet, of the wings, or of the anus.”

Chilean and French avant-garde filmmaker and writer

Alejandro Jodorowsky Prullansky is a Chilean and French avant-garde filmmaker and writer. His work has made him a fixture among cult cinema enthusiasts, especially through films such as El Topo, The Holy Mountain, and Santa Sangre.
