La Danza de la Realidad is not merely a movie. It is a ritual. It is a 133-minute long psychomagical cure for the soul. Alejandro Jodorowsky, at 84 years old, looked into the abyss of his past—the poverty, the abuse, the terror of a Chilean mining town—and instead of falling, he danced.
La Danza de la Realidad The Dance of Reality ) is an "imaginary autobiography" by Alejandro Jodorowsky
For those familiar with Jodorowsky’s therapeutic system, Psychomagic , the film is a manual. Psychomagic posits that psychological trauma cannot be healed by talking about it; it must be healed by symbolic acts. La Danza de la Realidad is the ultimate psychomagical act. By casting his 70-year-old son to play his abusive father, and by literally re-enacting his own birth, his own beatings, and his own salvation, Jodorowsky is not just remembering the past—he is rewriting it.
es una película que se resiste a ser clasificada dentro de géneros tradicionales. Es a la vez una película experimental, un drama familiar, una comedia y un viaje espiritual. La obra está basada en la infancia de Jodorowsky en Chile, y a través de sus recuerdos, nos lleva a explorar la relación entre la realidad y la fantasía, la religión y la superstición, y la familia como núcleo de la sociedad.
