Review of El Topo (1970) by Scotty C — 31 Aug 2007
Very strange experimental mystic Western from Brazillian "father of the midnight movie," Alejandro Jodorowsky. I think his Santa Sangre is more compelling and deliberate, but this one is absolutely worth checking out.
Brought to light of day in the US by John Lennon. Very surreal and fast-paced. Close to brilliant.
