Not even Bunuel with a brainful of Woodstock's bad brown acid could have made something this gloriously screwy.

Alejandro Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain is a dazzling, rambling, often incoherent satire on consumerism, militarism and exploitation.
Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times
Fresh
This is an extraordinary visual concoction, loaded with stunning primary colors, anti-religious caricatures drawn from Diego Rivera and a succession of dreamlike, grotesque vistas worthy of Dali at his most deranged.
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

Jodorowsky loves to confront the viewer with endless brutality and grotesque decadence and degradation, but here he expresses it with a rich, densely visual imagination.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Neither for the faint of heart or the linear of thinker, The Holy Mountain qualifies both as a fascinating period relic and an enduringly transfixing jaw-dropper.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
