twitchfilm.com has some good remastered clips of THE HOLY MOUNTAIN. It looks pretty sweet! I have a feeling the DVD will have awesome video quality, but have a bad feeling about the audiol

Thanks to Giles for bringing up this event. I've just come back from SF Castro theatre, they claim "El Topo" is a new print, it indeed looks so much better than my DVD, people got excited and there was a applause

it's also playing over at MoMA.

oh and here's the dvd details (from the Digitalbits):

Boy have we got some great DVD news for you film geeks today! ABKCO Films and Anchor Bay Entertainment have just announced a pair of titles that we've been waiting for on DVD since Day One of this format... El Topo and The Holy Mountain! No kidding! Anchor Bay will release a special limited edition collector's box set, The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky, on DVD on 5/1 (SRP $49.98). The set will contain El Topo, The Holy Mountain and Fando Y Lis on DVD, fully restored and remastered from new HD transfers in anamorphic widescreen video, with Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 audio (El Topo is 125 minutes in Spanish, The Holy Mountain is 114 minutes in English, Fando Y Lis is 93 minutes in Spanish). The box set will also include 2 music CDs containing the soundtracks for El Topo and The Holy Mountain, as well as a DVD of Jodorowsky's never-before-released first film, La Cravate. El Topo and The Holy Mountain will also be available separately (SRP $24.98 each). The El Topo DVD will contain audio commentary by the director, the original theatrical trailer (with English voice-over), a 2006 on-camera interview with the director as well as an exclusive new interview, a photo gallery and original script excerpts. The Holy Mountain DVD will include audio commentary with the director, deleted scenes with commentary, the original theatrical trailer (with English voice-over), the Tarot short with commentary, a restoration process short, restoration credits, a photo gallery and original script excerpts. Fando Y Lis will include audio commentary with the director and the La Constellation Jodorowsky documentary. Subtitles on the discs will be available in English, French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Awesome news indeed! To which Todd adds, "Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" and faints dead away in shock. This is, you see, his long awaited Holy Grail of DVD.


too bad there's no actual HiDef dvd edition, since the segments I saw in the film: From Midnight to the Mainstream looked simply stunning.

For those of us in Los Angeles, El Topo is playing at the Nuart through Tuesday. Then Holy Mountain will play for a week. This coming Friday, Santa Sangre will be playing there at midnight.

Not the International House of Pancakes. The International House of Philadelphia is like a cultural center and housing for international students.
