Content warning: Discussions of sexual violence and abuse. Neither Jodorowsky’s most remembered film nor his most surreal, SANTA SANGRE is still a horror-drama marked by its many allusions to faith, guilt, responsibility, and triumph of the self over evil. Fenix, a young circus performer, is left forever scarred when his father kills his mother and then himself. Years later, he gets what he thinks is an opportunity to resolve his trauma when his mother returns to him – but instead, he’s dragged further into the cycle of violence as she compels him to exact her revenge on the innocent for the evils of Felix’s father.
