EL TOPO 1973 DVD Region 4 Siren Visual Entertainment 106mins
A landmark film that spawned a genre and defined the way a generation
watched underground cinema. Championed by John Lennon El Topo started
the ‘midnight movies’ phenomenon in 1970. Classic Americana and
avant-garde European cinema sensibilities meet Zen Buddhism and the
Bible as master gunfighter and cosmic mystic El Topo (played by
Alejandro Jodorowsky) must defeat his four sharp-shooting rivals on an
increasingly bizarre path to allegorical self-enlightenment and surreal
resurrection.
