“A movie like none other I have seen before . . . a film in which the inner chambers of the soul are laid bare.”

—Roger Ebert

 

Fifteen years after Alejandro Jodorowsky’s EL TOPO and THE HOLY MOUNTAIN unlocked our collective third eye, the legendary provocateur made his 1980s comeback with this staggering odyssey of ecstasy, anguish, belief, blasphemy, beauty, and madness. SANTA SANGRE continues to enrapture both Jodorowsky newbies and dedicated fans alike with its tale of a young circus performer, the crime of passion that shatters his soul, and a macabre journey back to the world of his armless mother. SANTA SANGRE is perfect for primetime one-offs, late-nite genre slots or as an anchor in your Jodorowsky revival series.
