SANTA SANGRE A Film by Alejandro Jodorowsky
RESTORED EDITION 35TH ANNIVERSARY
Plot
A young man finds himself locked up in a clinic for the mentally ill, from which, through a series of flashbacks, he will be able to reconstruct the road that led him there.
The story revolves around Fenix, a young man who has lived a troubled life since childhood. As a child he was involved in the circus performances of his father, a famous illusionist, and was raised within the walls of a decadent circus. Fenix's mother, a fervent religious woman and dominator, opposes this crazy life and decides to free her son from his father's control. However, his father's abandonment and his mother's brutal murder push Fenix into a spiral of madness and desperation. As an adult, he returns to his childhood home, a decadent theater transformed into an erotic cabaret, where he reconnects with an old flame and must face his dark past.
“Santa Sangre” is a 1989 film that has fascinated and baffled audiences around the world with its surreal and disturbing plot. Directed by a master of metaphysical and eccentric cinema like Jodorowsky, this film pushes the boundaries of the imagination, offering an intense and unforgettable vision.
The master's masterpiece is a painful, violent, melancholy and visionary film produced by Claudio Argento. New edition Restored for the 35th anniversary with lots of extra content

In the 1970s, his legendary films El Topo and the Holy Mountain redefined movies as both art and entertainment while changing the face of cinema forever. And in 1989, visionary writer/director Alejandro Jodorowsky returned with his modern masterpiece: It is the story of a young circus performer, the crime of passion that shatters his soul, and the macabre journey back to the world of his armless mother, deaf- mute lover, and murder. It is an odyssey of ecstasy and anguish, belief and blasphemy, beauty and madness. It is unlike any movie you have ever seen before; or ever will. Axel Jodorowsky, Blanca Guerra and Guy Stockwell star in this epic of surreal genius, now fully restored and featuring exclusive Extras that reveal the mind behind one of the most provocative and unforgettable motion picture experiences of our time.
