Known for its bold visual style and disturbing beauty, the film represents Jodorowsky at his most accessible while still maintaining the dreamlike, symbolic storytelling that defines his work.
The Beverly Theater's modern screening room and excellent acoustics make it an ideal setting for experiencing this visually stunning piece of cinema. The film's rich color palette and operatic scope benefit from theatrical presentation, especially in a venue designed to honor both classic and contemporary art films. For fans of midnight movies, arthouse cinema, or anyone curious about one of the most distinctive voices in surrealist filmmaking, this screening offers a chance to see a genuine cult masterpiece on the big screen.
