Review of El Topo (1970) by Jesus G — 28 Aug 2008

Stunning...not exactly easy to process or digest. Jodorowsky has made the ultimate existential movie...a visually hypnotic piece of art and its originality is beyond anyone's imagination. It is amazing beyond description. Disturbing, yes..of course, but very beautiful at the same time.

Take a spaghetti western, mix it up with acid, put it on a blender with all your philosophies and moral questions and press the button..you have El Topo. Watch it once, then again, put away, revisit...you'll get it.
