Brooklyn Cinema Forum: The Holy Mountain

Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain is one of the most confrontational works in Latin American cinema—an all-out surreal assault on capitalism, religion, masculinity, and the promise of enlightenment itself. Blending ritual, satire, and psychedelic imagery, the film follows a group of seekers on a quest for transcendence that gradually exposes the emptiness beneath power and spiritual spectacle. Decades later, it remains shocking, funny, and unsettling in ways few films dare to be.
