Synopsis

In Mexico, the traumatized son of a knife-thrower and a trapeze artist bonds grotesquely with his now-armless mother.

MUBI's take

Cult auteur Alejandro Jodorowsky turned up at the Cannes film festival in 1989 with something refreshingly new: a psychedelic, psychological, and time-shifting horror story. Santa Sangre explores the extreme (yes: perverse) ties between a boy and his mother with macabre, Fellini-esque verve.
