    As an art student, I have probably paid homage to this film indefinitely. I don't want to talk about this film with empty words like doubt and rebellion against religion and Jesus, artistic expression with violence/sex/blood, the usual pantomime mode of Jordu who calls himself an atheist mystic, and satire of war. . The first movie that wanted me to write a long review and understand every frame. Busty surreal.. Kneeling to...

    A few days ago, I saw the storyboard of the director's version of "Dune" on duneinfo, and was surprised by the original design at the beginning. Therefore, I became interested in watching "Holy Mountain", and hoped to see more alternative ideas from the director. Sure enough, this film did not I am disappointed, the script is relatively complete and not very obscure, but the curious and bold content accounts for a large...

    20121226 @ home : There is no limit to cult films. Too many symbols and too many metaphors to understand~_~

    Although I wasn't happy with the last half hour, the first hour and a half were more than enough to offset any lack. Jodorowsky was a true philosopher among film...

    This movie is suitable to watch with wine. It can be said that the director deliberately uses his film and the identity of the star to guide the audience to express his thoughts on politics, society, religion, aesthetics and other aspects through various gorgeous and exaggerated surreal movie scenes. The film may seem difficult to understand, but as long as you think about the American society at the time and the hippie spirit that lingers on, you can understand the words and actions of the...

    This is not a movie review, it's just an afterthought - looking for the holy mountain in reality

    After watching the holy mountain, the impact is very strong, and it can't be calmed down for a long time. The director is so strange, so bold, so great.

    I dare not say that this is a film review, it can only be regarded as an afterthought.
    I didn't know the director or the plot before watching the...

The Holy Mountain quotes

  • Lut, He whose planet is Pluto: [vomits] His feet stink.

    The Alchemist: He has beautiful feet.

    Lut, He whose planet is Pluto: I can't stand the smell!

    The Alchemist: [attacks Lut, breaking his legs] When he puts your bones back together, you will like his smell!

  • The Alchemist: [final lines] We began in a fairytale and we came to life, but is this life reality? No. It is a film. Zoom back camera.

    [camera zooms out, revealing equipment and crew]

    The Alchemist: We are images, dreams, photographs. We must not stay here. Prisoners! We shall break the illusion. This is Maya! Goodbye to the Holy Mountain. Real life awaits us.
