Imdb info

"Jodorowsky wanted to change the World, to enlighten it spiritually, by making The Holy Mountain. Although he put a tremendous effort and knowledge and imagination, he failed to do so, because the World did not want to change. He changed. He found his "enlightenment" and nowdays he's a different person than his younger self in 1973. By watching this film, you have a chance of learning some important spiritual lessons. By listening to the Director's commentary ( included on separate audio track ) you have a chance to understand better this complex multi-layered film, which is a bit more than a film, and a bit more than a work of art. This is one of the rare directors that I really recommend listening to: there's so much knowledge, wisdom, insights, interesting life stories to hear from him, and a lot of chances to laugh as well…but, even if you're not interested in spirituality, you can just enjoy this visually stunning, colourful, surreal adventure…"

Plot Summary: A Christlike figure wanders through bizarre, grotesque scenarios filled with religious and sacrilegious imagery. He meets a mystical guide who introduces him to seven wealthy and powerful individuals, each representing a planet in the solar system. These seven, along with the protagonist, the guide and the guide's assistant, divest themselves of their worldly goods and form a group of nine who will seek out the Holy Mountain, in order to displace the gods who live there and become immortal.
