Santa Sangre

One of the most significant art forms of the modern era is Surrealism – and Alejandro Jodorowsky celebrates it in his shockingly beautiful, yet always breathtakingly photographed films like no other. Set somewhere between a circus ring, a mental asylum and religious delusion, a delirious melodrama unfolds in which dream logic triumphs over psychology and excessive tableaux plunge the cinema into a veritable state of ecstatic frenzy.
