I'm a Jodorovangelist!
I used to review movies every Friday on the BBC Asian Network and I was given The Fountain to review, a fairly recent meta-physical movie. It scored a fat Zero from me, partly because it was dull, lifeless and lacking an emotional kick, but also because I'd rewatched The Holy Mountain in the previous week and no one does 'The Big Question' like Jodorowsky.
The scope of the Holy Mountain is huge and the originality of vision, the beauty of the sets and the constantly awe inspiring set pieces make this a must see.
Watch it sober though, it's a head spinner.
