"7.6. Teatteri Alejandro Jodorowskyn keskeisistä se helppo elokuva vaatii sekin jonkin verran sulattelua. Yltäkylläisen karnivalistinen ilmaisu ottaa jännästi ja luontevasti giallostakin vaikutteita sekä omaa melko tavanomaisesti kulkevan juonenkin. Mielenterveysongelmat saavat poikkeuksellista ymmärrystä ja kantaja teoistaan huolimatta myötätuntoa."

" Date: 10/28/2021 Viewed: 4K UHD Re-Watch Note: I recently purchased the 4K UHD release of Santa Sangre from Severin Films and have waited for the right opportunity to watch it. I remember watching Santa Sangre for the first time when I was 18, and I remember really enjoying it. I love this movie even more now that I've seen it again. Although I prefer Alejandro Jodorowsky's other films such as El Topo (1970) and The Holy Mountain (1973), I still think Santa Sangre is a fantastic film. I ado"

Because I Was Curious, Dammit! Part 6 (8 movies items)

"Oh, fuck it, I'll do Santa Sangre, too. Santa Sangre (Holy Blood) is the least insane of the Jodorowsky films, but is still pretty batshit crazy. It is also has all of the tropes and symbols one would expect after watching El Topo and the Holy Mountain. Watch Santa Sangre and see if you can spot them all! The Christ-like character is just one of them!"

"16.4. Odotin Santa Sangren olevan lähestulkoon jumalelokuva, joten petyin pahasti. Leffa tuntui roskaiselta giallolta, johon on heitetty mukaan Jodorowskyn sirkushuveja ja kääpiöitä. Ymmärrän, miksi sellainen viehättää ihmisiä, mutta giallo on todistetusti minulle vain ihan kivaa ajanvietettä eikä mitään sen suurempaa. Homma toimii ihan kivasti, mutta Holy Mountainin ja El Topon perusteella odotukset olivat jossain aivan muualla kuin ihan kivassa. "
