Director: Alejandro Jodorowsky
1989 / 123min / DCP
Though best known for his one-two punch of psychedelic ’70s midnight movies, El Topo and The Holy Mountain, his 1989 “comeback” feature is perhaps the most accomplished and troubling film Jodorowsky ever made, a surrealist thriller centered on Fenix (Axel Jodorowsky), the son of two circus performers who, after a terrifyingly violent spat between his parents sends him for a long stay in an insane asylum, is released back into the world to do the bidding of his mutilated and vengeance-minded mother, now the leader of a sinister religious cult. “A movie like none I have seen before, a wild kaleidoscope of images and outrages, a collision between Freud and Fellini… A flamboyant parade of bold, odd, striking imagery.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
