“Normality is to be different. Every person is a different person. And one day you need to be aware of your difference. Aware that you are not the same as the others. That is to be normal.”

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.
