(To Raffaella Scorza, a Perugia). It is not a horror film (please). It is a tribute to a Latin American artistic movement: the magic realism which continues feeding our Literature. I think we are in front of a inexhaustible fountain, an obligatory point of reference to many other films, like "Underground" and "Magnolia" (both of them, were done later). The director was great (many times the money is not well-invested; Jodorowsky has employ any cent to making real a mountainous dream). It is difficult to summarize the plot without a description of the episodes. I don't want to do it. What can I write?: well, a lot of blood, nightmares, flashbacks, violence; all combined artistically, the product is not disgusting. I give 9 points to this film. Believe me, you will enjoy it, like Raffaella and me.
