Review of Santa Sangre (1989) by Kivernitis I — 17 Mar 2008
Set in the world of travelling-circus sideshows, Santa Sangre already promises us circus-midgets, freaks and mutilations.
And if the plot isn't strange enough, Jodorowsky decides to throw in an elephant burial, a Temple of Blood, some naked zombie-bride, a fat hooker doing the tango, and a field trip to the redlight district sponsored by the insane asylum.
Not quite on par with El Topo or Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre is a linear story that will burn images into your mind for days to come.
