Ultimate Cult Movie
Review of El Topo DVD by fraz1511

Advantages: One of a kind. Weird and Surrealist. Undergound
Disadvantages: Graphic sexual violence. Animal cruelty. Confusing plot.

El Topo is a psychedelic, surrealist, muti-leveled, psuedo western. It was filmed in the late sixties by Chilean maverick Alejendro Jodorowsky who is notorious for never getting films made. If you are a fan of weird and wonderful cult cinema then hold your breath because this film is for you! Fistful of dollars this is not! I first heard about El Topo in the eighties, John Lennon and Dennis Hopper claimed it was their favorite film. It earned this ...
...film! After some initial weirdness El Topo is sent to kill four masters to prove his worth. One master is an armless man with a legless man on his back, another master is kind of like jesus and lives in a hut. There is plenty of bloody gunfight action inbetween theological discussions (the effects were done by the crew who did the shootout at the end of 'The Wildbunch'). Towards the end it starts to turn into a bizzare version of Tod Browning's Freaks. ... Read review

Review: Violent, visionary, vital. (Empire, 10/04/2007)

DVD Description

With its combination of surreal imagery and assault on the ideals of the Western, EL TOPO may appear to be equal parts Luis Bunuel and Sam Peckinpah, but it's all Alejandro Jodorowsky. In addition to his directing duties, Jodorowsky contributes to the film's writing, music, editing, and costumes, as well as starring as El Topo (the Mole). El Topo journeys across the desert to battle a group of gunfighters, but it's not the plot that's important in this midnight movie classic. The masterful blend of brutal violence and beautiful images make Jodorowsky's film essential viewing for anyone looking beyond the offerings of the megaplex. Decades have passed since its first screening, but EL TOPO hasn't lost any of its ability to shock and amaze.
