At 90 years old, he is still making films and is a cultural phenomenon who has influenced artists as disparate as John Waters and Yoko Ono. Although his body of work has long been considered disjointed and random, William Egginton claims that Jodorowsky’s writings, theatre work, mime, and his films, along with the therapeutic practice he calls psychomagic, can all be tied together to form the philosophical programme that underpins his films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncorporating surrealism and thinkers including Lacan, Kant, Hegel, and Žižek into his interpretation of Jodorowsky's work, Egginton shows how his diverse films are connected by interpretive practices with a fundamental similarity to Lacanian psychoanalysis. Using case studies of Jodorowsky's cult films, such as \u003cem\u003eEl Topo\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFando y Lis\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHoly Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e and more, this book provides a unique perspective on a filmmaker whose work has been notoriously difficult to analyse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46768448209132,"sku":"9781350144774","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19360023482668.jpg?v=1756377825","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/alejandro-jodorowsky-by-william-egginton-9781350144774","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
