By far, The Holy Mountain is one of the most visually amazing films I have ever seen. I am gonna have to rewatch this a few couple of times to analyze it correctly, but man does this shit keep you intrigued throughout the entire thing. Shoookkk.
Found this movie really interesting. Groundbraking photography and visuals, I also liked the music, specially the buddhists sounds.
1973 checks out. Trying to be psychedelic and stoner-level deep. When you are high, "the ball is round" is deep, profound even. And then you sober up and see this laced nonsense.
Anything spiritual in the movie is surface-level and does not deserve association. You certainly won't learn anything new, might even get dumber by the end.
Speaking of associations, never have I appreciated Humane Associations more in my life.
Some shots were nice, liked the babes, loved the baby robot for some reason lol
If you are planning on watching this, I'd stick to regular porn. Although, if you go in expecting a crappy B movie, you might enjoy the sudden too high budget of it.
Imaginative nonsense that remains coherent through repetitious process. Interesting yet not at the same time.
The production designer deserved an Oscar.
More drugs were involved in the making of just five minutes of this movie than in the entirety of Keith Richards life.
This isn't for everyone. If you are looking for intensive filmic experience. Most scenes are very offensive to some, especially religious people. This movie is weirdly beautiful in which it shows the state of our society and how everything is corrupted. Must watch for a cinephile.
This video work is visualized, "psychotherapy". It is truly in the realm of the divine. The numerous famous scenes, eccentric, unusually colorful, erotic, gross-out, and fully materialized by the alchemy of Mr. Alexandre Jodorowsky, can sufficiently heal patients with "mental disorders" as "psychotherapy" even if there is no dialogue in them. And the film is an ensemble of images of the perverts of the earth, including sexuality, grotesqueness, sanctity, love (or abuse) of the disabled, and contempt for animals, all in one film.
This is not only Alejandro Jodorowsky's masterpiece, but (at least for me) I was healed by this film. It is this visual work, more than drugs or masturbation, that is the source of salvation for me. So this film is a Copernican turn in psychiatry beyond art. Thank you for saving me. And if you watch it without subtitles, you will have a much more enjoyable experience.
That was...an interesting experience! The director is either a f**ing genius or a complete Jerk! I'm going with the latter option here. And now, that i've seen everything that the Internet has to offer, you can shut it off once and for all!
Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain is simply one of those movies that you have to see to believe. Breaking down all traditionally accepted narrative structures and ways of filmmaking while also managing to keep a consistent level of humor throughout, The Holy Mountain manages to accomplish everything it sets out to achieve, and during its highest moments this film leaves the viewer in complete awe, in a good or bad way depending on who the viewer is. The sets here are strange and psychedelic, the costumes all fantastic specifically for that of the "Alchemist" character played by Jodorowsky himself, and the music here shows a lot of variety and never fails to impress me with just how many genres it manages to pull from and still manages to pull off. Not everything in this film is shown in an incredibly obvious way, however it isn't so far out there that trying to pick apart certain concepts and ideas on first viewing is nearly impossible, this isn't a Kaufman movie is essentially what I'm getting at here. So yeah, overall I adore The Holy Mountain, it's one of my favorite films ever made. This is a movie that is very strange and as a result will certainly not appeal to everyone, however if you can go in with an open mind and you have $5 to spare, I'd suggest sitting down and simply experiencing the special, weird, eccentric masterpiece that is The Holy Mountain.
The original title of the film is La montaña sagrada.
Amazing visuals don't make up for the weird for the sake of weird. I guess you also have to be spiritual or interested in religion to even start to understand it.
It still has 35 mins to go and my girlfriend has fallen asleep waiting for it to end. That music though?! :D
