Episode 74 - The Holy Mountain (1973) "Jordorowsky's Magical Mystery Tour"

This week on the pod, shed your earthy belongings, cut your hair and read up on the Tarot as we conclude our trilogy of Jordorowksy films with his most uncompromising, visually stunning and batshit insane film with his magnum opus of surrealism in 1973’s “The Holy Mountain”. Join us as we embark on one of the most divisive films as watched by this podcast. Who knew, after countless crimes against humanity witnessed among friends, a line could be drawn over something like Tarot? The Holy Mountain is a film that goes on a journey whether you’re with it or not. A fully uncompromising vision of Director, writer, producer, costume and production designer Alejandro Jordorowsky; the film is an amalgamation of all things central to his beliefs. Art, life, politics, magic, surrealism. It’s a film with so much happening its narrative is often overwhelmed by its visuals. Or, maybe it’s just wacky as shit. Can’t it be both? Plus, the intersection of Jordorowsky and the Beatles, guerrilla filmmaking being taken to new heights; literally, and Pete tries to sell Aaron on the legitimacy of Tarot. Does he succeed?
