“It's not the same thing to make a work - a film, a book, a play - about youth as it is to make one about old age.”

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. He is known for cinema that combines surreal imagery with mysticism and religious provocation. That same unsettling, symbolic style also shapes his writing, which has given him a lasting place in experimental film and literature.
