In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Jodorowsky Constellation (1994)
A documentary directed by Louis Mouchet.
The great Alejandro is interviewed, along with people who work with him and some clips of his presentations are shown.
This is a Jodorowsky film for those who have seen all of his movies. I had seen clips that were used in this before, but the whole thing is pretty cool. There is a lot of talk about spiritualism, symbology and psycho-magic. Also covered are the director's past works, including his comic books. I found it to be slightly entertaining, but nothing close to a film by the man himself. I'm rating it adequate. Don't get me wrong, the dude's amazing, but the documentary was not.
