EL
TOPO
A violent and allegorical Mexican western that has gathered
a huge cult fanbase since it's release in 1971. It tells the
story of El Topo, a gunslinger who sets out for revenge against
the outlaws who killed his wife. He ends up getting his revenge
and saving the life of a woman who is being terrorized by bandits.
She leads El Topo on a search for the region's top four gunfighters.
But before they set off, Topo leaves his young son in a monastery.
He and the woman hook up with another female and begin their
search.
THE HOLY MOUNTAIN
The
Holy Mountain was Alexandro Jodorowsky's dizzying elegy to the
sex, drugs and spiritual awakening of the late 1960s and early
1970s — a suitably bizarre follow-up to his El Topo (1971).
Fascinating, The Holy Mountain is beautifully shot and designed,
and it suggests what might have resulted if Luis Buñuel,
Michelangelo Antonioni, and George Romero had all dropped acid
and made a movie together. A Christ-like vagrant and thief wanders
through a perverse and unfriendly land until he encounters an
enlightened one, who gathers the thief and six of the world's
most powerful individuals for a spiritual pilgrimage. If that
description sounds a bit sketchy, well, narrative isn't this
film's strongest suit. But if you want to see the conquest of
Mexico re-enacted by reptiles, soldiers shoot innocent people
as birds fly from their wounds, and a wizard turn feces into
gold, this is the movie for you.
