Alejandro Jodorowsky - the legendary cult filmmaker behind Santa Sangre, El Topo and The Holy Mountain - needs your help. After years trying to raise funding for big new projects King Shot and Son Of El Topo, Jodorowsky is moving on to something more personal: Danza De La Realidad, an autobiographical picture based on his own childhood and teenaged years.
Having had no luck with conventional film financing methods in recent years, Jodorowsky is taking this one to the streets and trying the crowd funding method. Put a hundred dollars into the film and you'll receive a special cut of the finished movie on DVD.

I want to see this man make at least one more movie in his life, but this one is not it. Give dude money for King Shot!
I would easily give him 100 bucks to make "King Shot" or "Sons of el topo", but this one... well I'm still thinking about it, but I'm not sure. Is there any info about English subs on this DVD? I won't pay that much money for something I can't even watch.
I don't understand Spanish but I wouldn't be too negative on this. If you read Jodorowsky's "auto-biography" Where The Bird Sings, you'll quickly notice that he transforms any event into something magical, imaginative or surreal. So even if at first glance this project might sound more down-to-earth than King Shot or the El Topo sequel, I'm convinced it will be 100% Jodorowsky.
His latter work has been a series of disappointments and half baked ideas, he has been consumed by his own crap, doing his tarot readings and practicing that psychomagick bullshiat, I expect this project to suffer the same fate as King Shot and Sons of El Topo..
I'd be willing to donate $100 for the King Shot project, but not for some autobiographical movie.
