Nice! Lots of good directors in this series. I watched the Romero, and now, on to Jodorowsky.

There is a book that is somehow tied in called RE:Search #10: Incredibly Strange Films by V. Vale. I had happened upon this book a long time back and I wish I could find it because it is a great deal of fun; interviews with directors and profiles of their films as well as other psychotronic type oddities, although it gets into weird territory that I don't care for; but something for everyone.

I think I mentioned that book to someone a while back. They were looking for a psychotronic film, but couldn't remember its title. Apparently the book did not help. Its not really important, just felt like saying "hey I know that book." Though I haven't read it yet.

You are correct! I'm a huge fan of Santa Sangre. Yep, it's a Jodorowsky and I think it's a brilliant work. If you can, get the Severin edition. Full of wicked extras and it looks stunning. I hope you can watch someday.

It'll come back around and when the mood strikes me Sante Sangre will be on my list.

No doubt, it is highly stylized and does have moments of strong violence, so if that's not currently your cup of tea, you're wise to let it wait. When u do check it out, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
