This isn't bad once you understand the significance of what is actually going on in relation to the story it was based on. Seeing a young Jodo is worth it alone.

A profoundly ugly film about being yourself. Hooray, I guess. El Jodo had a straight-up humble beginning.

I had exceptionally low expectations for Jodorowsky's long-lost debut film, but it's actually a rather effective bit of pantomine. The staginess of it is not a drawback at all, in fact it lends a certain charm. A dash of light surrealism hints at things to come, and the colors are striking. Not a major work, but a pleasant one.

Purely the work of an amateur, but it does have a charm to it. Odd to see Jodorowsky's name on something G-rated.
