FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Alejandro Jodorowsky - Montana Sacre (engl. subt.) 

 If he looks back today, I think he'll be able to say he did anything. His name is Alejandro Jodorowsky. He went around with a circus, drew comics, worked with the greatest surrealists and made movies. He's not organized, he makes the kind of movies that Hollywood shouldn't make anymore. Not because of the success, but because he has to! Jodorowsky is a driven one! Holy Mountain resembles an explosion of images, filmed with burning intensity, so they will be remembered forever! A thief climbs the high tower and meets the alchemist at the top of the rainbow room. The alchemist has gathered a kind of sect around him to set off for the holy mountain to become gods there. It was John_Lennon who convinced his manager Allen Klein to support Jodorovsky's film financially. It was a fatal deal because Jodorowsky lost control of his work. But Jodorowsky used only half of the budget and returned the second part! It is said that he had lived with the crew in a commune, taken LSD and been looked after by a Zen master. The film begins in a white room that looks like a mosaic. The alchemist (Jodorowsky himself) in a black coat and two women kneeling are present. He shaves their heads and the opening credits begin. Then we see a gang of little boys with green genitals throwing stones at a tied man (Jesus?). In the first part the characters are introduced episodically, while in the second part the journey to the holy mountain follows. The first part looks like a walk through a colorful, explosive labyrinth, the second part seems almost contemplative. Finally we are awakened from our dream by Jodorowsky. Unfortunately, because we would have liked to sleep even more!
