In Tocopilla, a Chilean little town between the sea and the desert, the son of an uprooted couple, formed by a rigorous communist father 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 Alejandro Jodorowsky's life.  Blending his personal history with metaphor, mythology and poetry, The Dance of Reality reflects Jodorowsky's philosophy that reality is not objective but rather a "dance" created by our own imaginations.

If you are a fan of Jodorowsky's previous movies, you will probably like this one.  We can see some themes from the previous movies done again here.

One commenter on IMDb thinks this is Jodorowsky's best movie.  I don't agree.  (Maybe only someone who was himself living in Chile during those hard times might think so.)

Some readers of this board may remember some of Jodorowsky's previous movies because of the nudity.  There is plenty of graphic nudity in this new movie.  Nowadays of course it involves only adult actors.  When the kiddies compare penises and find out Alejandro is Jewish, it is done strictly symbolically.
Those who remember nude scenes long ago with the 8-year-old Brontis Jodorowski may compare with those here with the 50-year-old Brontis.
