Endless Poetry Page #4

Synopsis: Through Alejandro Jodorowsky's autobiographical lens, Endless Poetry narrates the years of the Chilean artist's youth during which he liberated himself from all of his former limitations, from his family, and was introduced into the foremost bohemian artistic circle of 1940s Chile where he met Enrique Lihn, Stella Díaz Varín, Nicanor Parra... at the time promising young but unknown artists who would later become the titans of twentieth-century Hispanic literature. He grew inspired by the beauty of existence alongside these beings, exploring life together, authentically and freely. A tribute to Chile's artistic heritage, Endless Poetry is also an ode to the quest for beauty and inner truth, as a universal force capable of changing one's life forever, written by a man who has dedicated his life and career to creating spiritual and artistic awareness across the globe.

Prohibited to prohibit!

Well said!

Alejandro,

poetry is an act!

Yes, a thousand times yes!

Poetry is an act!

I have the pride and honor

to welcome on this platform

that traveled great personalities

such as Pablo Neruda, Vicente

Huidobro and so many others

who rest in the Olympus of glory.

With you,

Alejandro Jodorowsky and Enrique Lihn.

"Wretched Prometheus." "Hearts of Sugar.

"Scents perfumed.

" Soft feathers.

"Fall from your souls anemic and without balls... "... in the intense flesh.

"In our mother the flesh" = = "In the f***ing flesh!"

It's a scandal! = = That's enough! Outside! Bastards!

F*** you with your flesh!

We're going to drive you

flesh in the ass, sh*t!

Catch them!

Out of here!

Son of whores!

"Oyez, citizens!

In our struggle to

change this real city

into an imaginary city,

we invited you to the foot of

the statue of Pablo Neruda...

This viscous national poet.

Inaugurated the statue

of the invisible man,

in homage to all the anonymous people

who inhabit this city without dream.

Nobody ever said anything!

We have been silent forever!

Nobody ever listened to anything!

Who are you?

I'm your fiance,

the woman of all your lives.

Rather be the wife

of all my dead.

To drink!

Enter, friends.

Hello!

The soup...

that end without interruption...

like life, nourishes and

burns at the same time.

We have a gift for you.

A poet.

Poet!

I love the poets!

What is your name?

Alejandro.

I see a diamond

hidden in your heart.

Come,

I will read the Tarot.

The Devil.

Innocence you will lose.

Your dark side you will find.

And you shall create, and create.

The Star.

From woman to woman you will go.

Your ideal wife you will find.

I am the one you will be.

Or you were the one I am.

You gave yourself to poetry,

and I do not regret it.

What shall I get?

You will learn to die happy.

I'm afraid of dying.

You are afraid to live.

I'm afraid of disappointing others.

You are not guilty of

living as you are.

You would be guilty of living

like others want you to live.

What is the meaning of life?

Life!

The brain asks questions,

the heart gives the answers.

Life has no meaning,

we must live it!

Screw!

Screw!

Screw!

Open the door!

Leave me to die, Alejandro.

My Lord Enrique has forsaken me.

If you really wanted to die,

You would not have told Vernica

that you wanted to commit suicide.

It was she who warned me.

And why not my Lord?

Because Enrique is completely drunk.

Can not talk to him.

When he has desolated,

he will return to you.

He loves you.

He will not come back.

He decided to find a

woman bigger than me.

That's why he left me.

You, it is you,

whatever your size.

And what am I?

Nothing.

He, my Lord, is all.

Come on.

Come here.

Go to...

Pequeita, I am your friend.

I saved your life.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

So promise me to do

whatever I tell you.

Ok, I promise.

I want you to close your eyes

and that as a blind,

you let me guide you.

Close your eyes.

Go, close your eyes.

You promised me to open my

eyes only when I tell you.

Yes, it's promised.

Good.

Lifts your foot.

That's it.

Now I will raise you.

Open your eyes.

Do not let me go, Alejandro!

You're crazy!

Alejandro, ask me!

Removed me from there!

I can fall, do not let go!

You're crazy!

You could have killed me.

You see that you did not want to die?

Dead, you would not have

the pleasure to breathe.

Breathe with me.

I had forgotten that the air existed.

- Are you feeling good?

- Better than ever.

Come in my arms.

That's it.

Life is beautiful.

That's right.

Again.

You were very good with me.

I want to give you a present:

my sex.

But I have my rules.

Do you mind?

Blood is sacred.

I fell from the tower!

Open it!

Do not open.

Let us drink the cup to the dregs.

Continue.

Open it!

We have to open it.

You!

When I was living here,

when I was here...

I was at the top!

At the top, I felt right here!

I fell like a worm!

And like a worm, you treat me.

I wrote you a poem.

"Because you alone feel that you live

" when, insolent, you betray me,

"I tie you with the rope of your limits!" "I

extract you from the future like a dead muse,

"I lock you in my

mother's coffin

" Rotten among her

wretched bones

"to which I still implore a caress!"

The bridge has broken.

Why do you do that, young girl?

I try to forget.

As long as Enrique lives in my memory,

I will only be a corpse.

Go ahead, Doctor.

Relax.

Enrique...

There are seven other pints, my pretty.

I have...

I did not find any flowers.

So I wanted to offer you this.

Thank you.

Do not worry,

it does not matter.

Here.

Even if this is the only

thing I can get from you,

well, I'll keep it...

forever with me.

Come on, you've suffered enough like that.

Leave me alone.

- No way.

Leave me alone.

Listen to me. You are small...

Go away.

I am small.

Together we can grow.

I will not leave you here.

Let's go.

Come on, come on.

Come with me.

That's it. Good.

Leave me alone.

- No, I'm not going to leave you here.

You will go with me.

Go.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty!

Can I ask you a question?

Yes.

Tell me, where did you

find these shoes?

I got them done.

Why then?

Because I love the circus.

Especially the clowns.

I'm glad to hear it.

Let me introduce myself:

I'm Carrot, the orange clown.

I saw you playing Tocopilla

when I was a kid!

My name is Alejandro Jodorowsky.

I understand now.

You are one of us.

Your father and I worked

in the same circus.

A cat will always look for rats.

These shoes express

that you want to return to the

world to which you belong.

I do not think I can.

If you have kept your soul as a child,

you will do it very well.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have the honor to present you

the fabulous circus

The Human Eagles!

The most refined and elegant

circus in the country!

Yes or No?

That's...

Can I enter?

Comment this?

You have already entered.

Who are you?

I'm a stranger!

From which country?

Of Strange!

And what do you want?

Work, Mr. Director.

What do you do?

I know fart.

Let's see.

Know, sir, that here only

Chileans have the right to fart!

So return fart to your homeland!

Disgusting foreigner!

It deserves a good correction!

Come on guys!

I can not stand it anymore!

I'm nobody!

No one!

I feel so bad, I want

to commit suicide!

But how?

I found it!

I'll tickle myself until

I die of laughter.

My best friend hates me!

I am a traitor,

I slept with his fiance!

She may have given me syphilis!

The poor girl may

have gotten pregnant!

Life is a game!

We must laugh at everything, even the worst!

Laugh!

Laugh!

Yes, laugh!

Suffering is silly!

I'm not a clown.

I'm a poet!

Poet! Poet...

"I never found you, " I always lost you.

"An eternity to travel in search of the impossible encounter... " to tell you that it is you,

Alejandro Jodorowsky

Alejandro Jodorowsky Prullansky (Spanish: [xoðoˈɾofski]; born 17 February 1929) is a Chilean-French filmmaker. Since 1948, Jodorowsky has worked as a novelist, a storyteller, a poet, a playwright, an essayist, a film director and producer, an actor in cinematic and theatre productions, a theatre director, a screenwriter, a film editor, a comics writer, a musician and composer, a philosopher, a puppeteer, a mime, a psychologist and psychoanalyst, a draughtsman, a painter, a sculptor and a spiritual guru. Best known for his avant-garde films, he has been "venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts" for his work which "is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation".Born to Jewish-Ukrainian parents in Chile, Jodorowsky experienced an unhappy and alienated childhood, and so immersed himself in reading and writing poetry. Dropping out of college, he became involved in theater and in particular mime, working as a clown before founding his own theater troupe, the Teatro Mimico, in 1947. Moving to Paris in the early 1950s, Jodorowsky studied mime under Étienne Decroux before turning to cinema, directing the short film Les têtes interverties in 1957. From 1960 he divided his time between Paris and Mexico City, in the former becoming a founding member of the anarchistic avant-garde Panic Movement of performance artists. In 1966 he created his first comic strip, Anibal 5, while in 1967 he directed his first feature film, the surrealist Fando y Lis, which caused a huge scandal in Mexico, eventually being banned. His next film, the acid western El Topo (1970), became a hit on the midnight movie circuit in the United States, considered as the first-ever midnight cult film, garnering high praise from John Lennon, which led to Jodorowsky being provided with $1 million to finance his next film. The result was The Holy Mountain (1973), a surrealist exploration of western esotericism. Disagreements with the film's distributor Allen Klein, however, led to both The Holy Mountain and El Topo failing to gain widespread distribution, although both became classics on the underground film circuit.After an aborted attempt at filming Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction novel Dune, Jodorowsky produced five more films: the family film Tusk (1980); the surrealist horror Santa Sangre (1989); the failed blockbuster The Rainbow Thief (1990); and the first two films in a planned five-film autobiographical series The Dance of Reality (2013) and Endless Poetry (2016). Meanwhile, he has simultaneously written a series of science fiction comic books, most notably The Incal (1980–1989), which has been described as having a claim to be "the best comic book" ever written, and also The Technopriests and Metabarons. Accompanying this, he has also written books and regularly lectures on his own spiritual system, which he calls "psychomagic" and "psychoshamanism" and which borrows from his interests in alchemy, the tarot, Zen Buddhism and shamanism. His son Cristóbal has followed his teachings on psychoshamanism; this work is captured in the feature documentary Quantum Men, directed by Carlos Serrano Azcona. more…
