Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain stands as one of the most audacious and unforgettable films in cult cinema. A surreal mix of mysticism, satire, and striking visual symbolism, the film follows a silent wanderer who becomes the pupil of an enigmatic alchemist. Joined by a group of powerful figures, they set out on a strange and often darkly humorous quest for spiritual transformation and ultimate truth.
From its vivid tableaus to its fierce critiques of power, religion, and consumer culture, The Holy Mountain remains a landmark of psychedelic filmmaking, shocking, hypnotic, and endlessly discussed. It's a film that continues to influence artists, musicians, and filmmakers around the world.
