Jodorowsky's Dune (2014)

Starring: Alejandro Jodorowsky
Director: Frank Pavich

Premise:
The story of how director's Alejandro Jodorowsky's passion project Dune got closed down after pre-production during the early 1970's and lasting impression it made for future science fiction cinema.

My Take:
The story is fascinating and packed full of lots interviews with many people involved in the process. Jodorowsky himself steals the show as his in depth discussion on how he wanted the movie to play out. This unmade movie was a vital part in cinema and it's ideas have been implemented in several movies over the years.

Rating: So Good
