The Holy Mountain
aka La Montaña sagrada, Mexico 1974
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.
