Alejandro Jodorowsky's Social Psychomagic

About This Movie

So, this one, 'Social Psychomagic' is a fascinating dive into Alejandro Jodorowsky's unique approach to therapy. Really, it's not your typical documentary, you know? The pacing is quite contemplative, almost dreamlike, reflecting the themes of healing and personal transformation. Jodorowsky himself is this larger-than-life figure, and his performance—if you can call it that—is both engaging and thought-provoking. The practical effects, while subtle, add an intriguing layer, making you feel the emotional weight of his psychomagic practices. It’s a kind of visual poetry that challenges conventional ideas about mental health, which I think makes it stand out in the documentary genre. Definitely a unique piece for anyone interested in avant-garde approaches to self-discovery.
