Review of The Holy Mountain (1973) by Tsvete — 25 Mar 2021
Alejandro Jodorowski manages to convey his philosophical understanding of the world. Through the symbolism and the extremely influential surrealistic shots, a complete work of art comes to life in front of the spectators.
Knowledge in the field of religion and esotericism is required due to the presence of many images related to tarot, the meaning of the planets, even playing out important past events. This is a film that keeps you in the dark until the very end, where there is a sharp change in the whole idea of the viewers and participants about the truth of reality, the path to wisdom and the difficulties and fears that follow it.
The end is stunning to the mind and makes a comparison between reality and existence, body and soul, love and ego.
