Goofs The opening scene is of a man on horseback riding through the desert, although the horse is on deep sand the sound is of a horse on hard ground. Quotes El Topo : Too much perfection is a mistake. Alternate versions Many Spanish and other non-English versions are censored, missing most of the sex and violence. Japanese prints on laserdisc have one piece of minor censorship the scene with the Franciscan monks being ridden and humiliated.
User reviews Review. Top review. This is one of the most hypnotic films you'll ever see and is one that stays in the mind for days afterwards. Think Leone, Fellini and Peckinpah joining forces to make a mystical, existential and spiritual western and you're someway close to Jodorowsky's masterpiece.
There are so many things to like and admire in this film from the sometimes purposely jarring editing and the beautiful music to the gorgeous vistas inhabited by a plethora of interesting and unusual characters.

Reviewer: cosmicrelief - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - March 17, Subject: my favorite film 3. The Holy Mountain is the attempt to enlighten the entire society. To prepare, he found a Guru, who gave him LSD. Then after he had gathered his cast, he took them on a three month retreat to prepare, and the film itself seems to have taken six months to shoot.
All three are essential works. Jodorowsky truly is Alexandro the Great. Holy Mountain is not about being high, it is about seeing through all illusions, of which getting high very much is one of those illusions.
It is a huge satire of the modern world in which the Alchemist played by Alexandro himself finds the most horrible people in the solar system, and then takes them on a quest that pacifies them by promising immortality - just like the regular religions! For a film that does not go "inside" any of the characters -- we see them in beautifully framed compositions -- it is very easy to follow and never lets the viewer down.
In the end, he even reveals the secret of immortality. I believe The Holy Mountain may be the most perfect Utopian vision ever put on film.
