Alejandro Jodorowsky’s ‘Dune’

Alejandro Jodorowsky’s ‘Dune’ is the great unmade 70’s scifi film.
It’s greatness and it’s unmade-ness are, of course, directly related, but it remains an elusive vision of a different direction for scifi film to explore.
If you’re in London for the next month you can check out this exhibition of concept artwork for the film, featuring artwork by Moebius, H.R Giger and Chris Foss alongside commissioned work made in response by three international contemporary artists Steven Claydon, Matthew Day Jackson and Vidya Gastaldon.
Looks fantastic, though if truth be known, I’m a great fan of the, much derided, Lychian epic. I think Jodorowsky would have made a(nother) film about the 70s and psychedelica which would have looked incredible but made no sense to anybody who wasn’t out of their mind on acid.
Still check out The Drawing Room for further details and make up your own mind.
