El Topo (1970)
Action, Drama, Western
Brontis Jodorowsky, Alfonso Arau, Alejandro Jodorowsky
El Topo decides to confront warrior masters on a transformative desert journey. He begins with his six-year-old son, who must bury his childhood totems to become a man. El Topo (the mole) claims to be God while dressed as a gunslinger in black, riding a horse through a mystical landscape strewn with American Western and ancient Eastern religious symbols. Bandits slaughtered a village on his path, so El Topo avenges the massacred, then forcibly takes their leader's woman Mara as his. El Topo's surreal way is bloody, sexual, and self-reflective, musing of his own demons, as he tries to vanquish those he encounters.—David Stevens
