The Madness Of Jodorowsky
Jay Dyer joins Jason Bermas for a decoding of The Holy Mountain, the surreal 1973 fantasy film shot in Mexico, but directed and written by Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky. He is probably best known for his earlier work El Topo.
The IMDB — the Internet Movie Database — describes The Holy Mountain: “In a corrupt, greed-fueled world, a powerful alchemist leads a Christ-like character and seven materialistic figures to the Holy Mountain, where they hope to achieve enlightenment.”
Prior to this decoding, YouTube removed a video that Bermas made about The Holy Mountain. Yet the social media platform hasn’t removed scenes from this scatological movie that includes animal sex, naked children, and many other shocking images. Here, Dyer and Bermas explore the bizarre and occult meanings of these scenes. The two should probably do other films as well — they are quite good together.
