SANTA SANGRE
Directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky
(1989, Mexico, Italy, 123 mins.)
A movie that ignores all boundaries of genre, Alejandro Jodorowsky's Santa Sangre instills horror with poetry, surrealism, humor, and pain. Fenix, a young institutionalized boy is released to his armless mother where against his will he becomes her arms in order to exact violent revenge. "A wild kaleidoscope of images and outrages, a collision between Freud and Fellini. Santa Sangre is a movie in which the inner chambers of the soul are laid bare." - Roger Ebert
