Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain caused a scandal when it first premiered at Cannes in 1973; today it is one of cult-cinema’s most challenging and influential works.

Alejandro Jodorowsky’s (El Topo, The Holy Mountain) directorial debut, Fando and Lis, premiered at the 1968 Acapulco Film Festival where the audience erupted in riot. The movie was subsequently banned in Mexico.
