In order to completely flip my Alejandro Jodorowski boxed set, I watched La Cravate, an early 20-minute film recently recovered (the box says 35 minutes, don't believe it) in an attic, apparently, a low-budget but charming mime act about a shop where you can exchange heads. Or if you prefer, about finding the person who will accept you for who you are. It's the only film in the set that Jodorowski doesn't do a commentary for, but the case interior publishes his thoughts on the matter. He's a little embarrassed by such an amateurish effort. Sure, it's something of a student film, but it bears the mark of his unique brand of symbolic film-making without any of its excesses. 8 years 8 months ago
