> Which is a horrifying choice of words considering Jodorwsky "claimed in a 1970 interview to have raped his co-star Mara Lorenzio on camera" [0].

I can't read the article you linked as it seems limited to members, but it seems there is more to this story than that. More information about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alejandro_Jodorowsky#Criticism...

He said he wanted to shock people and that he didn’t really do that, but there are multiple ways to prove that, one of them was to bring people from the production or even Mara Lorenzio to speak. I tried to search for Mara Lorenzio on the net to see if there is anything on her and it is impossible to find. I’m not sure if her name was that….
On the other hand, how likely is it that someone could get raped on a set where there are at least 20 other people all standing around and staring into the scene? Would none of those people try to stop it if they saw it? Would they not share the story afterwards?
