Just wondering if any of you have seen this classic film?

A Christlike figure wanders through bizarre, grotesque scenarios filled with religious and sacrilegious imagery. He meets a mystical guide who introduces him to seven wealthy and powerful individuals, each representing a planet in the solar system. These seven, along with the protagonist, the guide and the guide's assistant, divest themselves of their worldly goods and form a group of nine who will seek out the Holy Mountain, in order to displace the gods who live there and become immortal.

(El Topo by Jodorowsky is also another classic must see film)

Its my favorite of his. It tells the story of the fool from the tarot, progessing through every card of the major arcana and coming full circle to the fool. Apparently, Jodrowsky worked on the Visconti deck (?).

This guy definitely knows bout the predator illuminati class. In El Topo, the village at the end that follows the religion of the gun has those all seeing eye pyramid flags everywhere. 3-4 in frame at most times!

Jodorowsky led the marriage ceremony of Mary Manson with Dita von Teese. Just a passing opinion...;):cool:

One crazy film indeed. I recommend it if you can view - sometimes unconformable scenes.

The end is great though.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

One of my all-time favorite movies!!! ;)
La Montaņa Sagrada (The Holy Mountain, reissued as The Sacred Mountain) is a 1973 cult film directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky who also participated as actor, composer, set designer, and costume designer. The film was produced by Beatles manager Allen Klein of ABKCO. The Holy Mountain is a trip Blood flows as red ribbons or a stream of delicate birds. A sanctuary of testicles is completed at its 1000th pair. Shit turns into gold and immortality is simply a camera trick.
:eek: Watch The Holy Mountain (http://vids.rationalveracity.com/videos/1494/the-holy-mountain) Presented in its entirety. :cool:
