Just wanted to clarify what was in the box
Rating:5
Disc 1: El Topo - Excellent transfer
Disc 2: Holy mountain - Not as good, but still great transfer
Disc 3: Fando y Lis - pretty poor transfer
Disc 4: Constellation Jodorowsky, La - 90 minute Documentry 1994 - good transfer
Disc 5: Remastered El topo Soundtrack
Disc 6: Remastered Holy Mountain Soundtrack

In addition El Topo, was a magnificent movie, and gave birth to the midnight movie, along with films like Eraserhead and Pink Flamingos, so if your into "wierd", but wonderful cinema, this boxset is a must have

Extras include
El Topo:
Feature-length Jodorowsky Audio Commentary
Jodorowsky on El Topo
Original theatrical trailer
Holy Mountain:
Feature-length Jodorowsky Audio Commentary
Restoration featurette
'The Tarot' featurette

Fando and Lis:

Jodorowsky's rare 1957 short La Cravatte (21 mins, Colour, no dialogue)

Also an interesting part in the documentry, which talks about how he came so cloe to making Dune

Could someone give a better review?
Rating:3
I bought the US version of this box set, but they did a poor job with it. There's no Sante Sangre (is it in the UK box)? The sound is poor and seems to be out of sync (at least on Fado y Lis). And they letterboxed Fando Y Lis, not to mention they didn't do a very good job at restoring it. Can someone give a more detailed review for this, so I can tell whether I should get rid of my US version & get this?
