Santa Sangre: 35th Anniversary - Limited All-Region Blu-Ray Boxset with DVD & Postcards [Import]

SANTA SANGRE – A Film by Alejandro Jodorowsky

Restored Edition – 35th Anniversary

A young man finds himself confined in a mental health clinic. Through a series of flashbacks, he manages to piece together the path that led him there.

The story centers on Fenix, a young man who has been living a tormented life since childhood. As a boy, he was involved in his father’s circus performances—his father being a famous illusionist—and grew up within the walls of a decaying circus. Fenix’s mother, a fervent and domineering religious woman, opposed this wild lifestyle and decided to free her son from his father’s control. However, the father’s abandonment and the brutal murder of his mother push Fenix into a spiral of madness and despair. As an adult, he returns to his childhood haunt—a decaying theater transformed into an erotic cabaret—where he reconnects with an old flame and must confront his dark past.

“Santa Sangre” is a 1989 film that captivated and unsettled audiences worldwide with its surreal and disturbing story. Directed by the master of metaphysical and eccentric cinema, Jodorowsky pushes the boundaries of imagination, offering an intense and unforgettable vision.

This masterpiece by the director—a painful, violent, melancholic, and visionary film produced by Claudio Argento—arrives in a newly restored edition for its 35th anniversary, packed with extra content.
