Review of El Topo (1970) by Ann L — 21 May 2008
Isn't it every boys' fantasy to be followed around by naked sado lesbian chicks in a hot steamy desert? [insert lots of adjectives learned in feminist film theory] film spawned from some tarot-card reading kook.
The oh-so Jesusy "allegorical" parts made me want to barf. Content did not at all match nice cinematography, tho it did remind me of the late 60s/70s "avant" shit like brothers quay my goth friend made me sit through in 10th grade.
regardless, there's nothing I hate more than fucked-up values served as highly stylized "experimental"... dritt. or at least its a violence i'm not comfortable with.
