The Grand Illusion

Alejandro Jodorowsky’s new documentary on the therapeutic work of Psychomagic, draws from his life-long study of philosophy, psychology, ethnology, and world religions–from Freud to shaman, from Kabbalah to Gurdjieff, and everything in between. Bizarre and provocative challenges lead to personal catharsis in this amazing film. Intercut with scenes from his most famous films, it parallels and explains his intent and vision from the start of his career, giving new perspective and meaning to his works, while simultaneously breaking the wall between fictional and real.
