Film of the Week: SANTA SANGRE

SANTA SANGRE
A film by Alejandro Jodorowsky
(Italy/Mexico, 1989, 123 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

Fenix is still traumatized by the childhood experience of witnessing an appalling, tragic event when his father – a fanatical member of a religious sect – cut off his mother’s arms. Now confined to a mental hospital, Fenix manages to escape and to get back to his mother. Together they form a bizarre circus duo, but their act is a cover for more terrible intentions: to murder defenseless girls.
