eponymous character - a violent, black-clad gunfighter - and his quest for enlightenment.

La montaña sagrada (
The Holy Mountain) is a 1973 cult film directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky
who also participated as actor, composer, set designer, and costume designer.
The film was produced by Beatles manager Allen Klein of ABKCO after Jodorowsky scored
an underground phenomenon with El Topo and the acclaim of both John Lennon and George Harrison
(John and Yoko Ono put up production money). It was shown at various international film festivals
in 1973 and limited screenings in New York and San Francisco.
However the film was never given wide release until 2007,
when a restored print toured the United States,
screening with El Topo, and released in DVD format from May 1st.
