SANTA SANGRE SLOUCHING

Movie Review time! Yes. It has been long awaited things have this happen, I reached the mountain top. (earning six figures) I've reached rock-bottom. Fell. Rebounded. Took a break from stand-up comedy (my passion), went on hiatus, then, got ostracized from the phladelphia comedy community. Being rejected from social media.


Social media is an evil and Nobody's life is that perfect and a party as displayed.

Sorry I digress.



Currently streaming is Santa Sangre on Google Play (Piece of!), which, is the third best Alejandro Jodrowsky film according to tasteofcinema.com which I think is a reputable source?

Thanks Grant (childhood friend), for expanding my vocabulary with that word during teenager-years-quarter-poker-house-games. He is a cop now in Baltimore...

Was blown away from his Magnum Opus (what the fuck do I know? just heard the most buzz about this guy from this movie and just started exploring his filmography...)

This particular flick was produced by Claudio Argento, which is the younger brother of the late, great Dario Argento (Master of Giallo). The viewer definitely sees elements of Italian Avant-Garde and 
 a dash of dreamey scenery as Jodrowsky delivers with a sprinkle of Italian horror. With just the right amount of surrealism, midgets, children with down syndrome, this indeed has the makings of a top five Jodrowsky film

Perfecto!

4.5/5
