Let’s watch “THE HOLY MOUNTAIN” by Alejandro Jodorowsky @ Facets + discussion!
Details
Friends, please read before signing up for this one. The scandal of the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, Alejandro Jodorowsky’s flood of sacrilegious imagery and existential symbolism is a surreal sojourn of enlightenment pitting illusion against truth. In a corrupt, greed-fueled world, a powerful alchemist leads a messianic character and seven materialistic figures to the Holy Mountain, where they hope to achieve enlightenment. Long revered as a cornerstone of midnight cinema, ***The Holy Mountain ***remains as provocative and disorienting as ever. Equal parts sacred text and prank, enlightenment and illusion.
