Finally! Jodorowski on DVD!

It's about goddamned time!

A box set of Alexander Jodorowski's films, Fando Y Lis, El Topo, and The Holy Mountain has finally been released! Apparently, there is also a rarely seen earlier film included called La Cravate.

I love the work of Jodorowski so much. Who else could make a film about a vicious gunfighter who finds Buddha-esque enlightenment in a mountain cave with circus freaks and manages to include slapstick, naked monks being whipped with cacti, and explosions?

I've got to get this box set. I also need to find a copy of his later film, Santa Sangre.
