Kallisti23chaos · 04.14.2006, 01:47 PM

fantastic movie**
someone a couple weeks ago mentioned they were going to a screening.
If you like Holy Mountain, you should check out EL TOPO.

khchris · 04.14.2006, 02:21 PM

!@#$%! · 04.14.2006, 02:24 PM

Holy Mountain is one of my favorite films ever.
El Topo is great too, but Holy Mountain is Thee One.

I have not even heard of "Holy Mountain", is it by the same director of "El Topo"? Speaking of which I have never seen that movie either, but have seen it talked about on the documentary "Midnight Movies" and really wanted to see it. Is "El Topo" available on DVD, because I searched for it on Netflix awhile back and it wasn't even listed as being available so I assumed maybe it hadn't been released on DVD.

i recently found a video rental shop near my house that has it, so i'm looking forward to seeing it soon.

i bought them both on DVD--though i question the legitimacy of my purchases.

whorefrost · 04.14.2006, 04:59 PM

to my knowlege it has never been released on dvd although bootlegs are floating about on ebay

Iain · 04.14.2006, 08:19 PM

It has been released on DVD but not in the US or UK. I think their is a Japanese dvd (with optical fogging of naughty bits...that could have been on el topo, can't remember) and an Italian company called rarovideo put them out as well...they do a lot of neat stuff. But I'm not sure that those releases are 100% legit either....

There was a big thing about their release being held back. Allen Klein owned (or owns?) the rights and I think wanted a shitload of money for the rights to release a dvd. Him and Jodorowsky had some sort of dispute about it I think but they have apparently buried the hatchet and a DVD of El Topo and The Holy Mountain is supposedly in the pipeline but fuck knows when it's due. I havn't read anything about it for a while though.

And I haven't seen either of them....tempted to get a boot of them.

Santa Sangre is really quite good though....

i've never seen this movie but i read a little about it based on this thread. i'm amazed that any company, much less a mexican film company, would put up 1.5 million to make something like this

Everyneurotic · 04.15.2006, 01:27 AM

alejandro jodorowski is the man!!!!!

he's too cool for school!!!

i bet i can score a copy of any of his movies in any street corner here in mexico; i've never looked for them, though

Toilet & Bowels · 04.15.2006, 06:16 AM

has anybody read any of his comics? what are they like?

atsonicpark · 04.16.2006, 06:47 AM

Haha...

wow, didn't know it was so popular..

one of the biggest mindfucks ever..

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 04.16.2006, 10:24 AM

I hate that word!

porkmarras · 04.16.2006, 04:12 PM
