Nope. Nope, nope, nope.
I found this while searching my forgotten "Watch Later" list on YouTube, downloaded it.
I like Alejandro Jodorowski. His films are brilliant. And I'm reading his book "The Way of Tarot" and so far his interpretation is excellent.
So I was looking forward to this.
But no.
Half an hour in, when the Australian Serial killer in Paris began smashing pumpkins with his parents/sibling effigies on top, I gave up. I mean, there's nothing new here. He's reenacting scenes from his movies in the guise of "pop-psychology", or an alternative to psycho-analysis, but this has been done. Rebirthing, etc, etc, there are a hundred alternative therapies that are the same as his, offering clients/patients the opportunities to live out alternative scenarios to their upbringing, their childhood, their relationships, to help them realize who they are. And so this - despite his enthusiasm and bullshit - is nothing new. And watching these people - like yourself, like me, but with more trauma, more shit - "regain" their lives - it's just painful, voyeurism, obscene even, I wish them well, all the best, but - given the short intervals between follow-ups, I'm hesitant to class them as "successful" or even "therapeutic". Maybe. We hope so. But - all these nouveau treatments can be found under a hundred other umbrellas, and so I'm giving this a miss.
