Review of The Holy Mountain (1973) by Randy T — 01 Oct 2009
I get the impression that writer/director Alejandro Jodorowsky was raised in a repressive Catholic boarding school populated with sadistic nuns and this, The Holy Mountain, is his revenge. It's full of blasphemous imagery that I'm certain caused more than one self-righteous christian to exit the theater before the last reel concluded.
Personally, I wasn't offended, but I'm a less-than-devout protestant who is detached enough to see the irony of it all. I don't necessarily agree with Jodorowsky's vision but I definitely applaud his courage.
