I advise you to check out Santa Sangre if you get the chance.

Yup, and I watched it a third time and feel confident I get the message and understand the plot. The visuals are top notch. I do really like what he did there. Some of its uncomfortable to watch, and that's done on purpose.
So I just finished getting a copy of El Topo but haven't checked it out. A review on Holy Mountain stated to the effect of: While El Topo is dreamlike and unreal, Holy Mountain is supposed to be "all real" or some such. So I need to see El Topo to get a frame of reference.
Also, I'm gonna have to check out Santa Sangre, thanks for the rec.
