Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 7/10 --
A hopeful documentary, pointing to the fact that Jodorowsky's unfilmed masterpiece will never be dead in the water.

Way Too Indie
Rating: 3.5/4 --
This documentary version of Jodorowsky's "Dune" is probably more entertaining than what Hollywood would have done to it, with a clearer message: Our lives are like sands though an hourglass, so dream the impossible dream.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
[Frank] Pavich has constructed one of the most exhilarating documentaries I've ever seen because his true subject is creativity.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Its leading man is one of the most charming, charismatic figures you'll see in any movie, fact or fiction, all year.

DCist
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.

Washington Post
Considering the reaction to the Lynch film, the legend of Jodorowsky's Dune may prove more impressive than a finished film.

Art doesn't have to be a Sisyphean feat in order to mean something ( ... ) a better version of our timeline is not automatically waiting at the other end.

Product Description:
Filmmaker Frank Pavich explores one of cinema's great "what ifs" in this documentary detailing Alejandro Jodorowsky's aborted feature adaptation of Frank Herbert's celebrated sci-fi novel DUNE. With the release of EL TOPO (1970) and its psychedelic follow-up THE HOLY MOUNTAIN (1973), Jodorowsky became not only a pioneer of psychedelic surrealism in film, but also the father of the "Midnight Movie." Following the success of those two films, the Chilean director began focusing all of his energies on translating DUNE to the big screen. The film was to star Jodorowsky's own son Brontis along with a stunning cast that included Orson Welles, David Carradine, Mick Jagger, and Salvador Dali, with Pink Floyd providing the score, and art direction by H.R. Giger and Jean "Moebius" Giraud. Two years into the massive production, however, the film was suddenly and unceremoniously cancelled. Yet even today, numerous relics of that ambitious production -- including thousands of enticingly vivid storyboards -- still exist. In this film, Pavich offers movie lovers a tantalizing glimpse at a masterpiece that was never meant to be.
