Watch Jodorowsky's Dune For Free

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Having loved the movies for a long time now, is incredible to see this film with only 8 as rating. Jodorowski's Dune proposes the inside look of a genius at it's own way. Jodorowski's movies are not for everybody, you need to see it with some kind of effort and taste for the artistic wave. However Jodorowski's Dune shows not only the work of this man, but the man himself, showing us a beautiful human being with an inspiring message: Don't you ever give up! Even if all the doors remain closed, Don't give up. Is one of the most amazing things I have seen in my life. So You have Jodorowsky's work, Jodorowsky himself, Hodorowsky's Legacy in sci-fi what else do you need to give it a try?

Jodorowsky's Dune allows viewers to peer into the mind of an artist fully committed to seeing his vision become reality. This film is not just for sci-fi fans, it's for anyone who is fascinated and inspired by the creation of art. It's hard not to be amazed by Jodorowsky's passion and excitement as he walks the audience through every stage of attempting to create his masterpiece.It's easy to view Jodorowsky as an over-idealistic man with a screw loose, thanks both to his mannerisms and his zealous approach to art. But that's what makes the story so interesting. He almost turns down Pink Floyd because the band didn't stop eating their hamburgers while discussing the musical score of Dune. He introduces himself to Dan O'Bannon by immediately presenting him with some of his "special marijuana". He offered Salvador Dali $100,000 per minute to act in the film (granted, it was stated that Dali was set to be in the film 5 minutes at most). You feel Jodorowsky's pain when he discusses receiving the news that all major studios were uninterested in the picture, and that the film's production had to stop right when things seemed to be heating up. You want to laugh with him when he expresses his euphoria at realizing the David Lynch adaptation of Dune was a disaster. You respect and revere him when he talks about the abundance films he had an impression on and the artists he helped inspire. And you admire him when he suggests that Dune has lived on through those films, that his hard work, effort, and vision have not, in fact, gone to waste.The film is not for any one segment of the population. It's for those who love human expression, commitment, and diligence, and for those who are truly in awe of individuals who are driven by the love of their artistic craft.

This movie is a spiritual enlightenment in a documentary form.Let us start with this: I own the blu-ray version of the movie. Never saw any Jodorowsky movie, but I am huge fan of both books and David Lynch's "Dune".So far somebody would expect me to judge this documentary from the perspective of a "Dune" fan, but honestly I tried to be as neutral as possible. Of course, part of me was the "Dune" fan when I was watching, part of me was trying to get into the mind of this crazy genius, as Jodorowsky appears to be.Some quick facts and impressions: I have never seen the theatrical version of the documentary, but the blu-ray version do contains additional footage, giving even a bit more insight from both Jodorowsky and Michel Seydoux on the events and relationships of Jodorowsky and the crew. I consider this bonus material a very valuable add-on to the whole story, so I do recommend you to buy the blu-ray version.What to say... The movie pretty much speaks about itself. It is well done and very interesting to see, especially it touches such a mysterious subject in the world cinematography, as the never made movie about "Dune". What the movie shows however in addition, is a valuable insight on Jodorowsky's mind and we are given the chance to experience from first person perspective the creative process of the mind of a genius.Yes, I said I have never seen a Jodorowsky movie. However experiencing the way this man thinks and creates, I cannot deny he is a true genius. While we are not given the chance to see the whole book he prepared for the movie studios, showing the storyboard of "Dune", we almost feel like we could watch the movie from some of his words.Jodorowsky's "Dune" would have been a true spectacular movie. David Lynch's "Dune" is already spectacular - we have the monsters by Kit West , the same who created the monsters in "Star Wars", we have the music of the legendary TOTO and Brian Eno, we have a whole constellation of famous actors, including Sting in addition. Jodorowsky was about to offer much more - different music for every Dune house, starting with the cult Pink Floyd, even more constellations of stars - Mick Jagger, Amanda Lear, Orson Welles, H.R.Giger and even, oh my, Salvador Dali! And all this experienced in a totally different palette of colours trough the prism of Jodorowsky's mind.Honestly, while I think the movie would have been very very different than everything we saw and maybe considered too "mature-rated", if not even little "pervert" by some, I think the world really lost by not having this movie created.The moral of the story however, is that even true geniuses have to consider the budget and some boundaries in the end. Otherwise we are left with nothing, but legends.

I started reading Heavy Metal Magazine back in 78, and there was already talk of this movie back then,there is no doubt in my mind the Jodorowsky and his 'Spiritual Warriors' changed the face of Science Fiction forever,more than Star Wars,despite his movie Dune was never made. This marvelous film traces every step that went into the creation of Dune,and each step was a jaw dropper,hilarious and seemingly written in the heavens.I love this movie,I just get Jodorowsky,the way he sees life matches my own, it's such a loss he never got to complete his mighty idea. The scene where he talks about money and the Hollywood system has to be one of my favorite scenes ever committed to film,I felt his loss to the core. This incredible movie allows you to participate in someone else's dream,an artistic vision beyond compare,it's beautiful beyond measure.Brilliant!
