Review of The Holy Mountain (1973) by Ivan R — 16 Nov 2009
El Topo was one of the most memorable films I've seen in the past year and I couldn't wait to get my hands on another Alejandro Jodorowsky film.
Holy Mountain is about nine powerful industrialists and politicians heading taking part in a quest to reach the top of a holy mountain so that they can become immortal. The film is done in a surrealist style and there are some beautiful scenes of art direction.
Other parts of it feel dated as if at one point Jodorowsky wanted to make a sixties drug film. I wouldn't recommend this movie to everybody but I'm sure people who like surrealist films will enjoy this one.
