Tarot

A beautiful young woman marries a blind old man for his money. She carries on an affair with her husband's valet, but soon finds herself in the middle of a murder-for-money plot involving the household servants.

Instrument privilégié de la cartomancie, encore utilisé aujourd'hui par les diseuses de bonne aventure, le tarot de Marseille exerce depuis des siècles un puissant pouvoir de fascination. Ses vingt-deux étranges figures d’atouts semblent poser autant d’énigmes. Que signifient-elles ? Qui les a créées ? Dans quel but ? Le film explore l’histoire secrète de ces cartes, à travers la Florence des Médicis, l’art de Botticelli et la philosophie de Platon. Au fil de l’enquête, le jeu énigmatique se révèle être le véhicule d’un enseignement ésotérique d’ancienne sagesse. Celui de Marsile Ficin, l'un des plus grands philosophes de la Renaissance, féru d'astrologie et qui dirigea l'Académie néoplatonicienne de Florence.

"Jodorowsky wanted to change the World, to enlighten it spiritually, by making The Holy Mountain. Although he put a tremendous effort and knowledge and imagination, he failed to do so, because the World did not want to change. He changed. He found his "enlightenment" and nowdays he's a different person than his younger self in 1973. By watching this film, you have a chance of learning some important spiritual lessons. By listening to the Director's commentary ( included on separate audio track ) you have a chance to understand better this complex multi-layered film, which is a bit more than a film, and a bit more than a work of art. This is one of the rare directors that I really recommend listening to: there's so much knowledge, wisdom, insights, interesting life stories to hear from him, and a lot of chances to laugh as well…but, even if you're not interested in spirituality, you can just enjoy this visually stunning, colourful, surreal adventure…"
