Review of El Topo (1970) by Martin T — 15 Dec 2009
A heap of Bunuel with a serving of Leone. Not "my" kind of surrealism (a bit too allegorical and obvious) and dull in parts, but definitely unusual enough to sit through. What it lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in density.
It never belabors any point for too long, and thus manages to pack a ton of themes into two hours.
