Jodorowsky on blast: El Topo and Holy Mountain get an audio-visual remix

Now just hold your breath and watch…
 
Didn’t think the films of mondo-psychedelico cult director Alejandro Jodorowsky could get any freakier? Think again.

Straight outta Mexico City come Arturo Gil of video firm XNOgrafikz and bass maniac DJ Saeg, putting the audio and visual cut-up method to full digital effect on Jodorowsky’s two most popular classics, El Topo and Holy Mountain. But instead of merely generating some arbitrary rave-video-projection material, Gil and Saeg took pains to use rhythmic repetition to crack the AJ code as much as possible, creating an even more anti-linear narrative in emotive tribute to the Jewish Chilean-French celluloid shaman.
