Ich habe das Museum vor 20 Jahren schon einmal besucht. Es wurde neu renoviert. Da wegen coronabedingten Personalmangel das Obergeschoß geschlossen war, war der Eintritt nur 6€.

The Holy Mountain (1973)
Tumblr media
Em 1929, ao escrever o Manifesto do Surrealismo, o poeta francês André Breton ponderou sobre como o homem tornou-se pertencente, de corpo e alma, a uma espécie de “imperativo prático” que sufoca a expansão dos gestos, das ideias e da capacidade do sujeito de se conectar com experiências excepcionais – como o amor –, restringindo e constrangendo sua própria capacidade de transformação e transcendência.
Ao procurar resolver a contradição entre sonho e realidade, a arte surrealista permite-se imergir no universo dos sonhos, do irracional e do inconsciente, do fluxo e influxo da imaginação e dos desejos, do delírio, do torpor e da catarse.
Solve et coagula.
De acordo com Breton:
A imaginação talvez esteja prestes a reafirmar-se, a reivindicar seus direitos. Se as profundezas de nossa mente contêm forças estranhas capazes de ampliar aquelas da superfície ou de travar uma batalha vitoriosa contra elas, há toda razão para agarrá-las — primeiro para agarrá-las, depois, se necessário, submetê-las ao controle da nossa razão (BRETON, André. Manifestoes of Surrealism. Translated from the French by Richard Seaver and Helen R. Lane. The University of Michigan Press, p. 10) (tradução livre).
A par disso, e depois de quase dez anos, assisti novamente “The Holy Mountain” (1973), do diretor chileno Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Lembro-me de ter lido uma resenha que definia o filme como sendo uma “jornada iniciática”, e melhor definição não há. O Mistério – guiado pelo próprio Jodorowsky, aqui Alquimista – se traduz na exploração de conceitos como riqueza terrena e imortalidade, e na influência contracultural que eles exerceram (especialmente) no século passado.

Nele, um grupo de peregrinos se lança em uma jornada rumo à uma ilha mítica onde deverão escalar a Montanha Sagrada em busca de iluminação espiritual. Cada um desses peregrinos representa um planeta do sistema solar, e, como tal, incorpora uma forma e exerce uma função, em nível individual e coletivo. Em meio ao todo subjaz o Ladrão-crístico, no qual o próprio espectador se espelha, sujeitando-se aos ordálios do seu Destino (Fate) e às surpresas do terrível e fantástico Desconhecido (Unknown). 
Tumblr media
Crítico à cultura bélica ocidental, aos Estados Unidos e às tensões políticas entre Chile e Peru, o filme adota uma linguagem mística, torta, e não raro subverte os signos, em um ambiente de estranheza, transgressão e simbolismo existencial cru, por vezes sacrílego, frequentemente ultrajante e quase sempre hipnótico.
O homem propõe e dispõe. Ele, e somente ele, pode determinar se é completamente senhor de si mesmo, isto é, se mantém o corpo de seus desejos, diariamente mais formidável, em um estado de anarquia. A poesia o ensina a fazê-lo. Ela carrega em si a compensação perfeita para as misérias que suportamos (BRETON, André. Op. cit., p. 18) (tradução livre).
E então, afinal de contas, qual é o significado do filme?
Depende.
Tumblr media
Conforme propõe Jacques Lacan (e a referência, aqui, se deve ao meu recente interesse pela psicanálise lacaniana), não há significados fixos. Embora eles sejam determinados pela relação entre significantes dentro do registro do Simbólico, formado tanto pela linguagem quanto pelas regras sociais que organizam a comunicação, as relações e o desejo, a posição do sujeito no campo simbólico influencia sua experiência do significado.
Experimente-o, portanto.
Tumblr media
Diz-se que a obra provocou feroz controvérsia no Festival de Cinema de Cannes de 1973. Não tenho dúvidas de que ela continue instigando a mesma inquietação em alguns espectadores do Séc. XXI, especialmente dentre aqueles que se levam muito a sério.
O filme termina com uma aviltante piada, da melhor forma possível.
Duração: 92 minutos.
Atualmente indisponível para streaming no Brasil.
Para finalizar, algumas curiosidades.
Além de ser reconhecido especialista do tarô de Marselha (é dele o famoso livro "O Caminho do Tarot", publicado no Brasil pela Editora Chave), o próprio Jodorowsky é dado como alternativa ao Arcano 1 – O Mago, do tarô “Terra Volatile” (eu só soube disso ao manusear o deck).
"The Holy Moutain" é referenciado no curta metragem "Born Villain", lançado por Marilyn Manson em 2012 (direção de Shia LaBeouf).
