Having read most of Castenada's books and read many criticisms of his works I found the general theme of this documentary apt.
It is also the worst film-making I have seen. The psychedelic visuals are distracting and convey little useful information. It is as if the producer discovered a handful of effects on the mixing console and used them in the cheesiest way possible.
If you enjoyed the books at all this movie will add nothing. If you are trying to find some truth about the man, then the web is your ally. Enjoy his books for what you find in them - a bit of pithy philosophy, a lot of zen and a good yarn.
