The Holy Mountain
Alejandro Jodorowsky's prototypical midnight movie, which was a scandal when it was first released in 1973, is a follow-up to El Topo, and concerns a pilgrimage made by a Christ-like thief and his spiritual guide to the Holy Mountain. "Mr. Jodorowsky’s movie is a dazzling, rambling, often incoherent satire on consumerism, militarism and the exploitation of third world cultures by the West. It unfurls like a hallucinogenic daydream," wrote
Matt Zoller Seitz for the New York Times.
