The soundtrack CD from the Anchor Bay Jodorowsky boxset. Here's a
description of the film itself:
Outrageous. Shocking. Insane. For years these words have been
applied to many directors, but none more so than Alejandro
Jodorowsky. A mercurial talent who turns up with a film every
seven or eight years, he first came to prominence around the world
with El Topo, the first genuine midnight movie, in which the
director also appeared onscreen as a gunfighter clad in black
leather embarking on a mystical journey through the desert.
The success of El Topo encouraged its producer, Apple Record's
Allen Klein, to finance a far more ambitious follow up feature.
Lensed in gorgeous Cinemascope and featuring a far more luxurious
wealth of locations and sets, The Holy Mountain goes far beyond
the metaphysical spaghetti western theatrics of its predecessor,
offering itself a barrage of startling imagery and a tantalizing
discourse melding every major religion in the world. Awakening
from a comatose sleep and covered in insects, a bearded thief
(Horßcio Salinas) wanders into a town populated by freaks,
fascists, hookers, and religious fanatics, where skinned,
crucified livestock are paraded down the street, costumed frogs
bloodily reenact the Spanish invasion of South America, and
soldiers rape peasant women for the photographic amusement of
tourists. Our hero is then used as a body mold to create hundreds
of kitschy Christ statues, after which he returns to the street
and, courtesy of a handful of balloons, ascends to a secret tower.
In this isolated realm he encounters an alchemist (Jodorowsky),
who demonstrates his knowledge by transforming the thief's
excrement into crystals and gold. The alchemist then leads him to
a chamber containing the naked, shaved bodies of six wealthy
people of learning, all of them preparing for the next step in
their spiritual awakening. One by one we learn their stories,
ranging from a sexually bent bedmaker to a craftsman of pop
culture religious weaponry. Led by the Alchemist, these nine souls
in total then ascend "the holy mountain" where, they believe, nine
wise masters reside and must be replaced. Along the way they
encounter more sights, including a chicken massacre and an old man
who shoots tiger breastmilk.
With its interjection of deliberate humor and mixture of abstract
and modern urban settings, The Holy Mountain is a markedly
different animal from El Topo. Here Jodorowsky seems to
assimilating the quirks of Fellini, Bunuel, and especially Dusan
Makavejev, tossing them together with a number of holy texts for
one deeply mindbending cinematic stew. (Fellini would later crib
The Holy Mountain's jokey metaphysical ending for And the Ship
Sails On, though one could argue both men were more than a little
inspired by Mario Bava's Black Sabbath.) The plaintive Morricone-
on-acid score of El Topo here gives way to a tantalizing aural
mixture of religious instrumentation and funky pop compositions,
while Jodorowsky's first time out in scope results in some of the
most remarkable images of his career. Obviously not a film for
everyone, but the synopsis alone should tell you that.
