Alejandro Jodorowsky: Filmmaker and Philosopher is a captivating exploration of Jodorowsky’s work, and a vital read for those seeking a deeper understanding of the filmmaker’s elusive concept of psychomagic. Egginton’s analysis, premised on highlighting the parallel structures that exist between Jodorowsky’s body of work and Lacanian psychoanalysis, has unlocked a register of criticism that will serve Jodorowsky scholars for years to come * Michael Newell Witte, Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History, University of San Diego, USA *
