Three times in the past week or so people had asked me "Have you seen "Holy Mountain"".....when actually.....actually i had never even heard of it!!! I had apperently seen some images of it but didn't realize where they were from...but now my intrest was peaked....and I was on a quest...and actually it was way easier to find than i expected!!!! So at 6 am this morning i started my journey....
Not your standard psycaldelic movie...not to say that it doesn't contain some intensely strange images... this runs alot deeper... For me the real selling point was the imagery...filled with erotic occutism....sacreligious and colourful.....it was an amazingly crafted visual feast....filled with commentary on everything from reigion to government....with carefully staged shots that are individual pieces of art in their own right.. ..graphic and blatant...funny occasionaly.....witchy and intense...i definately enjoyed "Holy Mountain" for the inspirational and confrontational film it was meant to be....I was definately inspired.....
A giant eyeball becomes a meeting table....a room filled with 1000 testicles.....a man's unconcious body is cast into hundreds of christ-like figures....at least 3 castrations....tarot symbolism...guns made from various religious artifacts....Homoerotic armies....Body modifications.....artwork being created from the imprint of peoples asses....a giant penis ice sculpture and so much more.....some amazing costumes and set desgin as well....a very well done...not hokey...piece of psychedelia.......with amazing images that have OBVIOUSLY inspire many artists and musicians!!!!!
and for those that are interested...the theatrical trailer for the film....
XOXO
