Imaginative, continually mesmerizing and will probably be hard to forget. Quite what all that symbolism meant though, I could not even begin to guess, but it makes for a unique spectacle.

Pretty imagetic, a constant flow of stimulating colors and symbols. Presenting some harsh critisism on imperialist behavior and religion, 'the holy mountain' brings a kind of politic surrealism that adds to the whole film, in my opinion, more than those which by being very subjective and hermetic ends up keeping a somewhat distant relationship with its audience.

Vomiting out visual ideas and lots of new age-pseudo mystical bullshit is enough to make me roll my eyes and/or laugh uncontrollably. Jodorowsky doesn't hold a thing here, nevertheless I think this kind of film is quite necessary to serve for other artist like some sort of red traffic light, there's always a point where is just much ado about nothing.

This movie was great! Sick, twisted, disturbing, out there, bizarre, cuckoo, enlightening, and profound all wrapped in one movie! This is one movie I know i'll see several times due to the "wow" factor it left on me!

why people here didn't like it? I don't see any reason to not adore this movie. You need to have a open mind, completely.

I wasn't expecting such a fun film... Two words..."Mechanical Vagina"...

The plot takes the back seat in this trippy roller-coaster ride of a film. The visuals are part stunning and part disturbing. That being said, the ending makes it almost worth it.

I absolutely loved it. If someone could explain the full meaning of it to me I would be very grateful - it seemed that the Christ figure and the alchemist gathered the worst offenders of violent capitalism and took them on a journey to lose the world and gain their souls.Also, there was a good chunk of satire aimed at Pinochet. Any more explanation would be VERY helpful.

If after watching this film, you know which is the path you have to take to become immortal, say I. - Several people take this film just as a source of non-sense surrealism, but as El Topo, Holy Mountain explores deeply, and in a greater measure than most think, humanity in its whole meaning, from Sumer to Wall Street.

The only thing more ridiculous than this film is Jodorowsky's director's commentary.
