Santa Sangre. 1989.
A former circus artist escapes from a psychiatric hospital and rekindles his relationship with his arm-less mother and seek revenge on those who wronged her.
This is certainly not a strange movie from Alejandro Jodorowsky but certainly one of his most bizarre and violent movies that I have seen so far from the director. It certainly depicts on what is real and what is imaginary as the main character Fenix played by Axel and Aden Jodorowsky as the young and older character who witnesses his mother loosing her limbs and his father's demise.
Like his other movies, it does have a strange start then goes into the somewhat character build up but then goes in another direction with the second half and how a mother can still have a hold over her son, then gives out a good twist to the end. This may not be for everyone but any fan of the director will enjoy this.
