The young Alejandro Jodorowsky lives in Santiago de Chile and helps out his father in his shop. Contrary to the wishes of his family to study medicine, he decided to pursue a career as a poet. He met a man who gave him a place in his studio to follow his artistic work there. Gradually he got to know other artists and free spirits who supported him in his dream of becoming a poet, including Nicanor Parra , Stella Diáz Varín, who initially impressed him, and Enrique Lihn, who became his best friend.
The film follows Alejandro's career up to his emigration to his new adopted home Paris , when he left the country under the terms of Ibáñez's presidency .
Reviews
- “This late work, the completion of which was only possible with crowdfunding, becomes an experience through its intense flirtation with failure. Jodorowsky is close to the camp, that aesthetic in which the sublime and the banal meet in an unexpected way. You seldom get the feeling that cinema is coming to terms with itself so much. ” Epd film
- "It's a real flight of fancy. Enrique tells Alejandro that “poetry, like the shadow of a flying eagle, leaves no trace on land”. You can't really say that about Endless Poetry, which leaves its own trace of enjoyment. Unlike a lot of flaccid and directionless magic realism, there is a narrative drive: the traditional drive towards getting on and getting laid of course, but also this impulse to go out and prove himself to his father but also to destroy his father, who kept calling him a maricón, a fag. As it happens, he isn't. But being a poet is much worse in his homophobic father's eyes anyway. “ The Guardian
