>I am anti-jodorowsky because he raped a woman That's a fact? My understanding is that the only source for that were his own remakrs in an interview, and that he later retracted them[1]. No other person ever claimed anything of the sort about him, there's no track record of assault, and there is no indication that he would be the kind of person to do that. In the very remakrs held against him, he said: >When I wanted to do the rape scene, I explained to [Mara Lorenzio] that I was going to hit her and rape her. There was no emotional relationship between us, because I had put a clause in all the women's contracts stating that they would not make love with the director. We had never talked to each other. I knew nothing about her. We went to the desert with two other people: the photographer and a technician. No one else. I said, 'I'm not going to rehearse. There will be only one take because it will be impossible to repeat. Roll the cameras only when I signal you to.' Then I told her, 'Pain does not hurt. Hit me.' And she hit me. I said, 'Harder.' And she started to hit me very hard, hard enough to break a rib...I ached for a week. After she had hit me long enough and hard enough to tire her, I said, 'Now it's my turn. Roll the cameras.' And I really...I really...I really raped her. And she screamed. " To me, that sounds like the actress was there with consent. Finally, this is a person for whom English is not a native language, and who uses the word "rape" quite loosely. For example, he said he "raped Frank Herbert... but with love"[2]. I would say, there really isn't enough basis to conclude that his statements about "rape" meant anything but artistic exaggeration.
