The scandal of the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, The Holy Mountain is a sprawling phantasmagoria of sacrilegious visual excess and existential yearning.
Jodorowsky's most ambitious film sees the director himself play The Alchemist, a guru who guides a troupe of pilgrims, each representing a planet of the Solar System, on a magical quest to Lotus Island where they must ascend the Holy Mountain in search of spiritual enlightenment.
The Holy Mountain is presented here newly restored in 4K with a selection of informative new interviews and extras which provide unprecedented insight into this momentous film.
Please note that due to licensing restrictions, we can only ship this product to the UK and Ireland.

My god. I watched this film in my first year of uni and it honestly changed my entire perception on film. The fact that movies could do this? The fact that someone could even come up with with this? Just blows my mind. I remember after I watched it, I searched everywhere to find a film like it, but came up empty handed as it simply is such an original experience. I do completely understand however, why this wouldn't be someone's cup of acid, it's entirely batsh*t insane. Like if it any moment someone walked in on you watching this and asked 'what is happening' you'd would most likely struggle to even give a hint, but that's why it's so brilliant. To anyone reading this, I would really recommend you give this one a go. I've avoided talking about the plot as I think going into this blind is the best experience. I really hope you enjoy it, by god I did.

While not as great for me as on the first viewing, it is still memorable, bold experimental filmmaking. It must be seen to be believed. It has, probably intentionally, silly moments. I'd rather have cinema going into that direction than what we have now ... A must watch in this Arrow edition which gives it justice.
