E L T O P O
BY ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY
Alright Bob, it's time to up the anty. The first round was exactly that. We both got hits. Now I'm throwing a bit of a curveball and I'm just going to see what happens. Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo, financed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono and banned in the United States for decades, is the ultimate surreal art film/cult spaghetti western. There are plenty of WTF moments, but also an amazingly strange story that will keep you guessing. For all the grime and terror it deals with, it's also a beautiful looking film; Jodorowsky has an amazing eye for composition.
So take a chance on this one Bob. But maybe not with a sixer and a box of pizza. This is more of 'just had lunch and maybe it's raining out and I'm going to watch this movie now,' sort of thing. Enjoy!
