Review of El Topo (1970) by Chris S — 24 Jun 2013
A total mind fuck filled with allegorical references to Christianity and Zen mysticism. It's a western of sorts, but only in terms of its overall context. From start to finish the film is filled with sharp juxtapositions, religious icons and overt symbolic statements.
It's okay, but I doubt I could sit through it again.
