Synopsis:

Endless poetry is the second part of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s autobiographical trilogy. The 86 year-old psychomagician and director surprises us again with this film, as funny as it is disconcerting. The film, starring Jodorowsky’s sons, is set in the period of the director´s life when he left home to submerge himself in the bohemian life of Santiago de Chile, up until he moved to Paris in the 50’s.

In this film we feel a reclaimed urge to exorcize the past. It´s a true act of psychomagic, with explicit references to Major Arcana such as The Star or The Hanged Man. This method, developed by Jodorowsky himself, is based on the premise that the unconscious doesn’t distinguish between symbolic actions and true facts, so it can be used to heal certain psychological traumas.

Thanks to the magic of cinema, Jodorowsky returns to the past to heal wounds, embracing his father and receiving his forgiveness, something that in real life never happened.

The Cannes Film Festival audience praised with a standing ovation of more than 10 minutes!
