The Holy Mountain

Special Screening with Rushmor Records

Free Screening

A film that screams "product of its time," The Holy
Mountain was Alejandro Jodorowsky's dizzying elegy to
the sex, drugs and spiritual awakening of the late
1960s and early 1970s -- a suitably bizarre follow-up
to his El Topo (1971). Fascinating although it only
fitfully makes sense, The Holy Mountain is beautifully
shot and designed, and it suggests what might have
resulted if Luis Bunuel, Michealangleo Antonioni, and
George Romero had all dropped acid and made a movie
together. A Christ-like vagrant and thief wanders
through a perverse and unfriendly land until he
encounters an enlightened one, who gathers the thief
and six of the world's most powerful individuals for a
spiritual pilgrimage. If that description sounds a bit
sketchy, well, narrative isn't this film's strongest
suit. But if you want to see the conquest of Mexico
re-enacted by reptiles, soldiers shoot innocent people
as birds fly from their wounds, and a wizard turn
feces into gold, this is the movie for you.

(Alejandro Jodorowsky, Mexico, 114min., English and
Spanish w/Eng. St., 35mm, 1973)
