The Exterminating Angel (1962)
There haven’t been many movies that we cover that have been made into operas. In 2016, this became one of them. A surrealist film, Buñuel left it up to his audiences to decide what the story — a group of rich people cannot leave a party — is really about. Roger Ebert said, “The dinner […]
The Holy Mountain (1973)
I have no idea how to properly convey how important this movie is to me. Directed, written, produced, co-scored, co-edited, set designed, costumed and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky, this is a film that reduces me to tears at times if I even think about it.

But what […]
Espiritismo (1961)

This time, he’s sending his movie up north where Espiritismo will become Spiritism thanks to K. Gordon Murray. This goes the Monkey’s Paw one better by having Satan himself grant the wishes. I mean, when the Lord of Lies is giving things away, that’s […]
