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.
