Celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the original midnight movies from a singular voice in filmmaking, the inimitable Alejandro Jodorowsky. A sumptuous visual feast that you won't soon forget.
In a corrupt, greed-fueled world, a powerful alchemist leads a messianic character and seven materialistic figures to the Holy Mountain, where they hope to achieve enlightenment. [114 min; sci-fi, fantasy; English and Spanish with English subtitles]
"So extreme in its sacrilege that it achieves a kind of sacredness, The Holy Mountain is a transcendental feast of the grotesque and the sublime." — Bill White, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"A landmark of visionary filmmaking pitched somewhere between magic ritual and surreal burlesque." — The Wall Street Journal
"This is an extraordinary visual concoction, loaded with stunning primary colors, anti-religious caricatures drawn from Diego Rivera and a succession of dreamlike, grotesque vistas worthy of Dali at his most deranged." — Andrew O'Heir, Salon
