Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain is a hypnotic and transgressive surrealist epic that follows The Alchemist (Jodorowsky) as he guides a group of pilgrims, each representing a planet, on an allegorical quest to climb the Holy Mountain in search of spiritual enlightenment. Grotesque, provocative, and visually dazzling, the film pushes Jodorowsky’s psychedelic symbolism to its most extreme, exploring wealth, power, and immortality with audacious imagination. A landmark of countercultural cinema, The Holy Mountain continues to influence artists and filmmakers worldwide. This 50th-anniversary 4K restoration, drawn from the original negative with enhanced surround sound and supervised by Jodorowsky, presents the film in its definitive form.
