LONG-OVERDUE US RELEASE OF JODOROWSKY ON DVD



On May 5th, Diabolik DVD will release a 3-disc boxset of Alejandro Jodorowsky's films "El Topo", "The Holy Mountain" and "Fando and Lis". Jodorowsky's films are incredibly surreal and beautiful, and have been sadly overlooked by all but the most discerning cineastes, mainly because of their inaccessibility (his masterpiece, "El Topo", had previously never had an official US NTSC video release and could only be experienced from poor quality bootlegs). Hopefully this great new set will turn on a whole new audience to Jodorowky's unique and important cinematic vision.
