Holy Mountain, The and El Topo

DOUBLE FEATURE! Two trippy Alejandro Jodorowsky tales.

THE HOLY MOPUNTAIN follows a Christlike figure known as The Alchemist (Alejandro Jodorowsky) as he wanders through bizarre, grotesque scenarios filled with religious and sacrilegious imagery. Along the way he meets a mystical guide who introduces him to seven wealthy and powerful people, and together, they form a group of nine who set out to seek the Holy Mountain.

EL TOPO is Jodorowsky's cult classic that fuses Americana and avant-garde European sensibilities with Zen Buddhism and the Bible. The black-clad gunfighter and mystic El Topo (played by writer/director Jodorowsky) sets upon a path of enlightenment, encountering various masters upon his travels. From his six-year-old son to tries to sharp-shooting rivals, El Topo's bizarre path of allegorical self-awareness and resurrection leads him through an Old West version of Sodom and Gomorrah.
