It's pretty good. Striking for sure, but pacing is all over the place, and the more it went on, the less I cared. I don't think Jodorowsky has ever really been a great filmmaker, he's just able to come up with extremely memorable and powerful images and visual ideas, and generally, the more of them he packs into a film, the better the film. Which is largely why The Dance of Reality is his best work, while El Topo just becomes exhausting to watch in the last third.
