Endless Poetry

This is one of my favorite movies of all time! Thank you. rating = infinity hearts

There is no doubt that Poesía Sin Fin represents the highest and most astounding manifestation of Jodorowsky's cinematic work.

The Film is a pure, honest and unpretentious expression of the director's youth. It is a journey which takes us by the hand and invites us to see the world differently, through the eyes of the poet ; for whom the possibility of a Life filled with drive, desire, wonder and ultimately, freedom, liberated him from the person he was not.

A must-see masterpiece rich with many many layers of interpretation ; from the most naive youth-driven imaginary to the deepest most mature form of reflection and expression.

Cinema that heals, cinema that explores, cinema that inspires, truly and deeply.

Endless Poetry is absolutely, incessantly, unceremoniously weird, but kind of astonishing. In other words, a typical Jodorowsky film. Continuing his saga of semi-autobiographical films, this tells the tale of Jodorowsky in youth discovering the power of poetry and living out a culturally enriched, eccentric fantasy. T he film is immediately arresting, by virtue of its strangeness. People in black suits appear to take items out of characters hands at random moments across the film. One of the characters sings every line she has, for no explicable reason. There is so much imagery packed into each frame that any attempt to understand their meaning is pointless. Endless Poetry is amovie that most people would probably not have the patience for. Under objective terms, it verges on incoherent, pretentious, unintentionally funny and flagrantly self-aggrandising (imagine if Scorsese, Nolan or even David O'Russell decided to make a trilogy of films about their own lives) where very little makes sense. But Jodorowsky films defy categorisation. There's this peculiar, unique spell the film takes on where a minority of the audience will become enraptured in the pure strangeness, as well as Jodorowsky's infectious enthusiasm and "joie de vivre" that pours out of every frame.

Being a Jodorowsky fan I enjoyedthis, but this film is certainly not for every one. However if you arelooking for something incredibly different to watch, perhaps you willfind the endearing, beautiful, non-hagiographic ode to life that i found, or you will hate it and switch it off after ten minutes. For me, anyway, it was a film that offered many rewards, especially as Jodorowsky is a filmmaker so wondrously unique that anything he makes is immediately compelling.

I thought a few things within the movie were a bit too extreme for me, but none the less I still had an overall great experience with this film. From the start, you immediately get sucked into this world of wonder and excitement, there's this underlying message to it that feels preachy, but for some reason, it never feels forced. I had fun with this movie, it was bright, it was colorful, and it was absurd, but I believe it had a poignant message to it.

Endless Poetry Depict alejandro jodorowsky teenage years and young adulthood, and how he became a poet and an artist.

The movie is in no way a Slave to realism, I am sure it shows his real life story, but as it felt and how he can put an artful touch on it. It doesn't hold back it shows the darkest part and worst part of his life and even if it may be gives into his ego sometimes. It is still willing to pick him down.

The movie so interesting. The first movie filled like the alejandro coming to terms with his father and mother and the early childhood. This one it's much more about his artistic Awakening and how he became an adult with his own thought and feeing.

This movie likes the first one has that wonderful feeling of a man who have lived a long life, and is now finding a way to tell it, in the most interesting artistic way.

The location looks amazing, the sit design looks amazing, just every part of the movie The costumes, the disabled, dwarves. It just a movie that has everything to give a life texture.

The use of non-actors is spectacular, they are willing to do things that you would not expect known actors with egos to do. They are willing to do go the extra mile for the directors Vision.

And all of alejandro jodorowsky Sons are playing it amazingly.

Life told in a surreal way can be wonderful to see, and can get feelings through effectively. A great director last film poetry. Would recommend.
