"On 17 May the film "La Danza de la realidad" of Alejandro Jodorowsky was presented on "premiére". 16 years old teenager I was already a fan of Jodorwosky and of course after many years of silence I could not miss one of my favourites.
The films of Jodorowsky has accompanied our youthness and with "The Thief of Rainbow" with Peter Toole (Hollywood) it looked that the filmography autor works war finished, but no...at last a new one, a will?
The film enrolls the story of this child submissed to his father, theoretically a camrade and opposant of the dictature, but on the other side clode in his rule of inibitor and castrating father, who neverless for a consequency of the story becomes a desasperate and un-roots man, till when purified he will go back. The scene of my childhood runs on in parallell time of the film, I saw when my Father tought me how the Planet goes around the Sun, using the lamp hanging on the edge of the the kitchen
I saw when I want to become an sport runner at 15 and my father enforced me after a run to follow him, avoided me to stay with camerades and after to participate to the Olympyads or obliged to sleep on the garage if I came too late at 17, after a screen film "Private Vices and Public Virtues" of Jankso arriviing "clandestine " from Hungary. Jodorwsky film helps us to manage our unconsciuosness and find always a solution. At 20 years old, I left the family and so long after I became an acteiss. During the screen time, I felt that my real father was dying and feel that it was happenedcalling my name, but I was in Cannes, In the last years, myy father was changed, like in the film, more tender, comprehensive, I took care of his illness trying to give him again energy, I flew between Berlin, Bruxelles, and his different hospital in the coldest winter of Euope to save him and gives comfort, Cannes was a " working rest". The film was finished, the real warm public claims and clapps, Jodorowsky is on stage and he presented his children also involved in the film, it was nice for them to have a father introducing them in the cinema and created the future. Perhaps like a casta.
A casta, that I had all fough, the idea that children could make the same Father´s work is a frustration for them and an impeachment for other talents But the preoccupation of a Father is the future of their children,even if rude.. We are born where we are born, I left the festival of Cannes, the joy of the reunion of the yearly cinema, I tried to cathc my mother, he was still alive, my father for real died on 21 May, The sadness catches me,I fund him stock-stills. A badge of Cannes has no sense in a funeral. This feeling episode separated me by the glamour and laughing and enjoined of thousand of people. The most of film people doesn´t like the reality, to reach the immortality, but "The dance of reality" turns-up.
