Critics consensus

“A visual treat rich in symbolism, The Holy Mountain adds another defiantly idiosyncratic chapter to Jodorowsky's thoroughly unique filmography.”

Hardly a moment passes in this movie without a situationist display of outrageousness; it is a dream tableau of the weird and occasionally wonderful.

A rambling stream-of-consciousness quest that - in its final, self-conscious act - celebrates the primacy of the filmed image.

‘…Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain is a cruel, brutal, ethereal masterpiece…a monument to a certain kind of experimental, creative film-making that’s likely to die with its estimable creator…
