Jodorowsky/Xingjian

[Jemmy Bloocher]

I've read and loved Soul Mountain and One Man's Bible. I went to see him at
the Edinburgh International Book Festival a couple of years ago and was in
an audience of barely 20 people. Edinburgh University is the Scottish
Centre for Chinese Studies (and where I did my post-grad Chinese Studies)
so I was pretty unimpressed and embarrassed by that turn-out. Exceptionally
interesting person. Anyway...unfortunately I've not seen Holy Mountain
though I'd like to. I've only seen Santa Sangre by Jodorowsky.
