Stars: Alexandro Jodorowsky, Mara Lorenzio, David Silva, Paula Romo

Director: Alexandro Jodorowsky

Summary: A gunslinger and his son travel across the desert where they come across a massacre. A dying man tells of a colonel and his gang who are the culprits.

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.
