Tarot plays a small, but critical role in the plot of Alejandro Jodorowsky's 1973 film ''[[The Holy Mountain]]''. Several characters are archytypes based on tarot cards: the protagonist, a thief, is portrayed as [[The Fool]] in the beginning, but eventually becomes [[The Magician]]. In one scene, as the protagonist is being prepared for his spiritual journey, he is introduced to the tarot cards to help his grasp magical ideals. | |||
Notably, Jodorowsky had an intense interest in the tarot as a tool for spiritual improvement and the cards are not found anywhere in the original novel upon which the film was based, ''[[Mount Analogue]]'' (1952) by French author René Daumal. | |||
