Description: The Transformative Cinema of Alejandro Jodorowsky by George Melnyk Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "This book analyses the complete cinematic work (1968 to 2020) of Alejandro Jodorowsky"-- Publisher Description Alejandro Jodorowsky is a theatre director, writer of graphic novels and comics, novelist, poet, and an expert in the Tarot. He is also an auteur filmmaker who garnered attention with his breakthrough film El Topo in 1970. He has been called a "cult" filmmaker, whose films are surreal, hallucinatory, and provocative.The Transformative Cinema of Alejandro Jodorowsky explores the ways in which Jodorowskys films are transformative in a psychologically therapeutic way. It also examines his signature style, which includes the symbolic meaning of various colors in which he clothes his actors, the use of his own family members in the films, and his casting of himself in leading roles. This total involvement of himself and his family in his auteur films led to his psycho-therapeutic theories and practices: metagenealogy and psychomagic.This book is the only the second book in the English language in print that deals with all of Jodorowskys films, beginning with his earliest mime film in 1957 and ending with his 2019 film on psychomagic. It also connects his work as a writer and therapist to his films, which themselves attempt to obliterate the line between fantasy and reality. Author Biography George Melnyk is Professor Emeritus of Communication, Media, and Film at the University of Calgary, Canada. His research interest is the auteur film maker and how the cultural grammars of their lives find their way into their films.
