Alejandro Jodowrowsky who was already a well-known in the underground, notably gaining worldwide praise after John Lennon and his wife stepped in to bank his films. It is interesting to know that there is one connect for all his classic films and the name Is Rafael Corkidi. He collaborated as the cinematographer for Jodowrowsy films. In the early sixties he was a member of the Nuevo Cine group and began as a photographer in the First Experimental Film Contest with Tajimara (episode of the movie Los Bienamados 1965) by Juan José Gurrola. Later he photographed Gelsen Gas's Anticlímax (1969) and Juan López Moctezuma's La Mansión de la Locura (1973). Coming to his directorial, my favourite is this controversial film which portrays the journey of a messenger who is in search of a woman, who will be the new mother for the Messiah. Along the way, he encounters several historical events or personalities with whom he confronts his search. Among them are the people of Auschwitz, the Ku Klux Klan, Frida Kahlo, ancestor Adam, conqueror Hernando Cortéz, Jesus Christ, politician Emiliano Zapata and others. The film is filled with a lot of symbolism and a very strong visual load, certainly one of the craziest and most ingenious movies ever.
