Kendi Kendisinin Peygamberi Bir Sürrealist: Alejandro Jodorowsky Sinemasında Erken-Postmodern Eğilimler
A Surrealist Prophet Of His Own: Early Postmodern Tendencıes In The Films Of Alejandro Jodorowsky

Summary/Abstract: This paper is aimed to determine early-postmodern features of Latin American anarchist-mystic artist Alejandro Jodorowsky’s cinema films. It can be claimed that Jodorowsky, a multifaceted artist as a filmmaker, playwright, poet and graphic novelist, has not attracted academic attention despite the fact that his films reached to cult status. Thusly, scholarly studies on the cinema of Jodorowsky amount to only a few both in Turkish and Anglo-Saxon Western literature. In this respect, this paper undertakes to be a source in Turkish literature on Alejandro Jodorowsky, an extraordinary transnational auteur, who sees his art as an expression of his philosophical worldview and aims to cure the audience through images full of grotesque and violence.
