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:

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?
