That's some of the most intriguing imagery I've seen. I wasn't familiar with the the Holy Mountain, so I ended up tracking down a copy.
Not for the faint of stomach... especially if you don't like to watch exploding conquistador toads fighting Aztec iguanas, but damn that's a wild ride. No country does surrealism like Mexico. Thanks for the rabbit hole!
Side note, the entire time I was watching this I was thinking - damn, this is really similar to Santa Sangre in tone and style - turns out it's by the same director, Alejandro Jodorowsky.
As you’ve probably seen, Jodorowsky almost made a movie adaptation of Dune; it didn’t get to filming but the preproduction work involved Moebius and HR Giger and was very influential.
Also it’s likely that soon it’ll be easy to generate surreal videos like this one using “AI” deep neural techniques, in the same way that surreal still images can currently be generated.
