Movie Night 5-16-07 - The Holy Mountain

Body functions and body fluids get the lead role in The Holy Mountain and their performance is beautiful.
One of the strange movies you're gonna see, it's got a visual style that makes beauty of disgusting things. We (fight, brian, clif, ty, and myself) all thought it had similarities to both kubrick and bunuel. Actually, pretty obvious similarities, but it didn't feel derivative. Biblical imagery in high-B-movie mode with the body and blood of christ in vivid technicolor.
Man, I really liked this movie. Funny, sincere, entertaining. The Holy Mountain is among the great movie nights so far. Read about Alejandro Jodorowsky, he's an interesting guy. Still alive and working, it appears.
