The Holy Mountain. 1973.

In a corrupt fueled greed world, a Christ like thief meets a alchemist along with seven others who represent the stars of the solar system travel to seek high enlightenment at a holy temple on a mountain.

This is the second time seeing this film within a year and still find it bizarre, strange yet entertaining for it's colorfulness, are the people who represent the stars are actually representing the seven deadly sins and are forced to seek forgiveness.

There is two scenes that did make me feel uneasy yet Alejandro Jodorowsky managed to pull it off even though back in the 70s he may have had a few people saying "you can't do that" and he managed to do it. I showed Angie the trailer and I knew what her reply would be, hopefully I can convert to watch a good piece of cinema.
