Watch: Santa sangre 1989 123movies, Full Movie Online – A young man — starving, nearly catatonic and barely responsive — is confined in a sanitarium. He is taken on a field trip along with other residents to the city’s red-light district. There, he encounters by chance a woman from his past, triggering a series of flashbacks. We see that he was traumatized as a child, when he and his family were circus performers, and when he witnessed a murder/suicide: his father — an American expatriate living in Mexico under suspicious circumstances — cuts off the arms of his beloved mother, a possessive wife and religious fanatic who led a heretical church called “Santa Sangre (Holy Blood),” the members of which worshipped a martyred girl whose arms were severed by her father following her rape, and then commit suicide. Back in the present, buttressed by shock of his remembrance, he escapes the sanitarium and, in a series of hallucinations and dream-fulfillments, believes he has rejoined his armless mother. He “becomes her arms” and the “two” undertake a grisly campaign of murder and revenge..
Plot: A young man is confined in a mental hospital. Through a flashback we see that he was traumatized as a child, when he and his family were circus performers. Back in the present, he escapes and rejoins his surviving and armless mother.

You will remember this movie!
I saw the U.S. premiere of this movie at the DC FilmFest. I was intrigued by the thought of a man who makes movies once every 15 years.Well, I’ll tell you. The people sitting next to me left 10 – 15 minutes into the movie. If you can get through the first 30 minutes, it is worthwhile.
Of course, I am into very surrealistic movies and ones that address the question of what is real and what is not.
After seeing it, the visuals have stayed with me over the years. A powerful movie for the adventurous.
Surreal, scabrous, but seemingly moving
After a long absence Jodorowsky returned with this surreal but more accessible offering than his earlier work, focusing on a circus and starring Jodorowsky’s son and grandson as Fenix, a young boy who witnesses his father cut off the arms of his mother before committing suicide. Then we see Fenix grown up and finding his mother again, and she uses him as her slave, using his hands for her various needs and also to commit murder. There are the trademark Jodorowsky images in parts with deformed people on a trip out from an asylum, and powerful scenes like the elephant being savaged for food. But it somehow has a more warmer and humble feel to it than his previous work.
