It was an entertaining documentary, but as a Dune fan I am between apathetic and happy this film was never made. It was painfully clear this guy A) didn't understand Dune, and B) wasn't setting out to create a faithful adaptation of the work. He said he hadn't even read the book before deciding it was practically his mission in life to make it into a film, and he uses a rape metaphor to describe what he was doing to the work. Gross. > “It’s different. It was my Dune. When you make a picture, you must not respect the novel. It’s like you get married, no? You go with the wife, white, the woman is white. You take the woman, if you respect the woman, you will never have child. You need to open the costume and to… to rape the bride. And then you will have your picture. I was raping Frank Herbert, raping, like this! But with love, with love.”

Pretty sure if this film had been made, my brain would have broke when I saw it.

A sincere and powerful insight into an artist's mind. Jodorowsky's charisma and commitment to his vision really makes you wish his Dune had been made.

A wonderful documentary about this part of sci-fi film history. If you're a fan of anything that comes within the radius of Dune, you'll be a fan of this story.
