Although not explicitly stated, Jodorowsky still believes that David Lynch's version of Dune is a piece of shit. He also didn't say it clearly, he still felt that it should not be "Star Wars" that went down in history, but "Dune" he shot.

But this is another story, because there was no investment, Jordu's "Dune" was not filmed.

Years later, they started making documentaries for the unfinished film. In fact, you can say whatever you want, but it didn't happen anyway.

There is a very interesting section in the documentary, which fully reflects Jordu's character.

Jodorowsky thought that only Dalí (yes, the one who painted) could play the role of emperor in Dune, so Jodorow and Dalí and 12 of Dalí's henchmen were in the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Meet at a restaurant on Main Street.

The two gods began to show off each other's style.

Dali: "Please sit down, I have a question for you."

Jodorowsky: "What? Sir."

Dali: "When I was young, Picasso and I used to go to the beach. Every time we When you get out of the car, you can always find a clock in the sand. Mr. Jodorowsky, have you ever found a clock in the sand in your life?" (Not only Picasso is removed here, but the clock is also mentioned here. This intention is obviously to use his "Eternal Memory" to show off. In the end, he used an inexplicable question to sublimate it. The force is very lethal.)

(Picasso: "Haha")

Jodorowsky is a little confused , Damn, what kind of bird question, how to answer it! ? But Jodorowsky is also a person who has seen the world. In the face of Dali and his 12 followers who are eagerly waiting for answers, he began to organize his thoughts. How can I say that Laozi is also a sentimental artist. It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship such as "The Rat" and "Holy Mountain". . . Jodorowsky thought to himself, "Wouldn't it make me weak if I answered 'I've been looking for such a clock'? But if I answered, 'I've never found such a clock,' it would seem overwhelming. If I go on, I'm a poor person."

Suddenly, Jodorowsky had an idea.

His answer is this.


"Although I have not found the clock, I have lost many."


Dali replied: "Okay, we'll see you in Barcelona."


Jodorowsky secretly said, pretending to succeed.

    Moebius, Dalí, Jagger, Giger, Wells... such a defiant collection of art world gurus of various genres and forms was doomed to be difficult from the very beginning. The creators headed by Jodorowsky, as holy art believers, are simply terrible and respectable. These guys can come up with the most jaw-dropping grand plans and pursue them relentlessly, but in the end, they are always crushed by the cruelty of reality. Salute here!

Jodorowsky's Dune quotes

  • Michel Seydoux, Producer - DUNE: You needed a touch of madness to do it. You can't have a masterpiece without madness. Pink Floyd? Dali or Orson Welles or others! Maybe Dune had too much madness? But a movie that doesn't have a bit of madness is not going to conquer the whole world.

  • Alejandro Jodorowsky: He said, "I want to produce you anything. What do you want to do?" I say, "Dune!" And he say, "Yes."

    Michel Seydoux, Producer - DUNE: Why? Because the book was the most beautiful science fiction book. It was the bible of science fiction for all the big devotees. Because the book had a worldwide publishing success that you could find in every country.

    Alejandro Jodorowsky: I didn't read Dune. But, I have a friend who say to me it was fantastic. I don't know why I say Dune. I can say Don Quixote or I can said Hamlet. I don't know any way, anything. I say Dune.
