ANARCHY AND ALCHEMY (Persistence of Vision)

This is the sixth book in Creation's highly-acclaimed Persistence of Vision film book series. Alejandro Jodorowsky remains one of cinemas most controversial and influential film-makers. In 1968 his scandalous debut, Fando & Lis, caused a riot in Mexico, forcing the Chilean-born director into exile in France. The following year, his ultra-violent underground smash hit El Topo inagurated the Midnight Movie phenomenon, transforming its creator into a counter-culture icon championed by John Lennon and, latterly, Marilyn Manson. Anarchy and Alchemy features Exclusive interviews Rare images Exhaustive chapters on all Jodorowskys films including the mesmerising cine-trip The Holy Mountain, the award-winning Oedipal circus show Santa Sangre The aborted Dune project with Salvador Dali, Pink Floyd and H R Giger Texts on Jodorowskys 60s terror-theatre outfit The Panic Movement His world mime tour with Marcel Marceau His graphic novel collaborations with Moebius
