'Having broken away from my illusory self, I was desperately seeking a path and a meaning to life.' This phrase perfectly sums up Alejandro Jodorowsky’s biographical project: reconstituting the incredible adventure of his life. He was born in 1929 Tocopilla, a coastal town on edge of the Chilean desert, where he discovered the fundamentals of reality, as he underwent an unhappy and alienated childhood as part of an uprooted family.

The Dance of Reality is a 2013 autobiographical drama-fantasy film by legendary filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, chronicling his childhood in a remote Chilean coastal town during the 1930s. The film explores Jodorowsky's formative years and his early search for meaning and identity amid family alienation and desert isolation. Now available to stream, it offers an intimate, surreal portrait of one of cinema's most visionary directors.
