Plot Summary
The tale of Jodorowsky and his Dune is a fascinating trip through creativity and imagination, a story about the relentless pursuit of a dream, and the necessity of art. In pre-production for over two years, the film was to star Jodorowsky's own 12-year-old son Brontis alongside Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, David Carradine and even Salvador Dali, set to a musical score by Pink Floyd and art-design by some of the most provocative talents of the era, including H.R. Giger and Jean 'Moebius' Giraud.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Is Alejandro Jodorowsky's "Dune" the most influential movie never made?
Fresh: A great seminar on creativity.
Fresh: A deeply moving testament to single-minded, indefatigable commitment of creative vision and to an almost spiritual ability to let that vision go, thereby allowing it to exist in the world in an entirely unexpected form.
Fresh: Frank Savich's diverting documentary lets the 85-year-old filmmaker revisit a saga from the mid-'70s: his stellar two-year failure to adapt Frank Herbert's Dune for the screen.
Customer Reviews
Amazing.
This is an absolutely stunning documentary that manages to paint a mental picture of what this movie perhaps was, in some alternate universe. Jodorowsky is highly entertaining and visionary, and the case the film makes that his Dune planted seeds throughout the world of science fiction cinema that still have impact today is powerful and cannot be denied.
Fantastic...
Great to hear him passionately speak about his vision & ideals regarding the making of movies… and also the bogus entertainment industry.
Fantastic docu
Wow what a game changer of film this guy had on some of the great film directors
