New Trailer For Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Dance Of Reality Debuts

And we all thought Terence Malick liked to have lengthy breaks in between his pictures.

All joking aside, Alejandro Jodorowsky is back with his first film since 1990’s The Rainbow Thief, and with positive reviews seeming to pop up out of its debut at this year’s Cannes Film Festival a new trailer has just arrived for the new picture.

Based on his own memoir, the film is as much a passion project as one could imagine getting out of the ever beloved cult filmmaker, and it even already has a distributor in France, Pathe. As much a bizarre fever dream as you’d expect from the filmmaker behind such pictures as El Topo, the trailer is surreal and unlike anything we’ve seen since last year’s Holy Motors, and this looks to be even more brazen in its style. Jodorowsky isn’t a director I’m intensely familiar with (I’ve seen his “greatest hits” like Topo and The Holy Mountain) but this looks to be one of the year’s more intriguing foreign affairs.
