The Dance of Reality (La danza de la realidad) is a
2013 Chilean-French semi-autobiographical musical fantasy drama film written,
produced, and directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky.
In Tocopilla, a small town in Chile located between the sea
and the desert, the son of an uprooted couple, the father a rigorous Stalin
admiring communist and a loving but weak mother, tries to pave his own path in
a society that does not understand their Jewish-Ukrainian origins.
Based on Jorodowsky’s life, the film blends his personal
history with metaphor, mythology and poetry and reflects his philosophy that
reality is not objective but rather a 'dance' created by our own imaginations.
