Review: An Abstractly Tasty Visual Treat - This film is dense with symbolism. It contains symbols from Qabbalah, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Paganism, Buddhism, Taoism, and even Astrology (oddly enough). It's clear that Alejandro Jodorowsky did a lot of spiritual homework, so to speak, when he chose the symbols used, and in the way he used them. I've seen this film around six or seven times, and it never ceases to be a source of entertainment. It's both bizarre and wise in many respects, but the viewer has to be able to discern what is simply shock value, and what is pertinent to the plot. In a way, the film is very existential. Each character being a uniquely designed product of their own niche desires. And it's Probably the first film to really break the fourth wall and have it be a part of the plot (a very important part). If you're the kind of person who enjoys theology, philosophy, or the bizarre then this film is for you. If you like nudity then this film is probably also for you. I wouldn't recommend this as a family film. I also wouldn't recommend this to the religiously uninformed or people who are looking for a down-to-earth film. Review: Jodorowsky is Something Else - The Holy Mountain is the most well-known film by Alejandro Jodorowsky, however, I don't think that this means that you should start here if you have any interest in his art. His style can be quite off-putting and extremely pretentious, and I would say that this movie, almost more than any of his others, typifies this idea. The imagery is strange, sometimes unintelligible, and often graphic. A real assault on the senses in some cases. This is a defining characteristic of his works. Much of the time the audience is meant to feel uncomfortable and confused. A lot of this has to do with Jodorowsky's world views. The man grew up in Chile during a time when regulations and human rights were of minimum concern. Having to withstand the harsh realities of life in such a place thus greatly influenced the man that he would later become. Just as every artist before, Jodorowsky tries to communicate what he has seen through his art, in order to show the audience his personal experiences. He just happened to have a graphic upbringing and a platform to portray it from. So why should you watch this? Because it has been an EXTREMELY influential piece of media for a large number of artists (in film, music, and beyond) since it was first put out into the world. I would recommend starting off with El Topo before grabbing The Holy Mountain. I would also recommend his novel "Where the Bird Sings Best", but read at your own discretion. This book is graphic and unlike anything that I have ever (and probably will ever) read before. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00LCT48JC | | Actors | Alejandro Jodorowsky, Ana De Sade, Hector Ortega, Juan Ferrara, Robert Carter | | Best Sellers Rank | #224,340 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #717 in Music Videos & Concerts (Movies & TV) #11,960 in Drama Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (164) | | Director | Alejandro Jodorowsky | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | ABK10329BR | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Blu-ray, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Allen Klein, Robert Taicher | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 0.32 ounces | | Release date | July 1, 2014 | | Run time | 2 hours and 6 minutes | | Studio | Abkco | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray, NTSC - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** Spanish - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 6 minutes ## Images ![The Holy Mountain [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71agUkkrL8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Abstractly Tasty Visual Treat *by G***8 on October 6, 2015* This film is dense with symbolism.

It's the first film of his I've seen and all I can say is... Wow. Definitely one of the most daring, visually provocative pieces of cinema I have ever seen. I have now ordered Jodorowsky's other films! It's worth watching the "Extras" to see the difference between the aged print and the restoration. Hard to believe they could salvage that much crispness, depth and color compared to the aged film master they started with. I've seen reviews calling it an "extraordinary visual concoction" and "a wickedly outrageous masterpiece." The film is both of those things. The movie goes from bizarre scene to bizarre scene with an imagination and energy that never lets up. I can't imagine anyone trying to make a movie like this today... which is really... kinda sad. THE HOLY MOUNTAIN is brave, beautiful, crazy and sacrilegious in equal amounts... Check it out if you are into truly transgressive film... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4620685-the-holy-mountain-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4620685-the-holy-mountain-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
