Movie Reviews of The Holy Mountain
Movie Review: A drama poem with scenes from nature
Summary: 4 Stars
The Holy Mountain is considered one of the best Bergfilms (mountain movies) ever, and the final scene "His world", in which we see the allucination of the protagonist, as he dies up high on a mountain, is an absolute masterpiece. The movie is interesting for several reasons. The dancing of Leni Riefenstahl, the new music of Aljoscha Zimmermann (a real pity the original soundtrack of Edmund Meisel has been lost), the experimentation with blue light, and the gorgeous images from the Alps. It is somewhat interesting to note that the initial dance scene (Diotima on the sea) had originally been thought for Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, something almost impossible to fathom.
