Jodorowsky's Dune

[Doc Sportello]

I've only read Jodorowsky' Borgia comics which were entertaining and quite
saucy but really just like extreme HBO. My first experience with him though
was when we held a double feature for El Topo and The Holy Mountain at this
student-run film club/movie theater I used to be in. Much more interesting
than the comics I read.
