A mystic alchemist leads a thief and seven worldly disciples on a surreal quest for enlightenment atop the Holy Mountain.

In a world poisoned by greed, violence and spectacle, a mysterious alchemist gathers a thief and seven powerful disciples for a journey towards enlightenment.

THE HOLY MOUNTAIN is Alejandro Jodorowsky at full visionary force - outrageous, symbolic and packed with unforgettable surreal imagery.

Rialto Recommends THE HOLY MOUNTAIN is Jodorowsky unleashed: a dazzling assault of mysticism, satire, provocation and pure visual invention. Every scene feels designed to shock the senses and scramble the intellect, turning capitalism, religion, sex and spiritual ambition into a wildly surreal pilgrimage. Strange, funny, confrontational and impossible to forget, this is cult cinema in its most fearless form.
