The highly eccentric and totally brilliant Alexandro Jodorowsky doesn't make films like anybody else. Directed, written by and starring the man himself "El Topo" is a violent, surreal, quasi-religious Western, if that makes sense (which like the film it doesn't). AJ plays the nomadic lone gunslinger of the title, mostly shooting people for the first half, before being reincarnated as the comedian-cum-holyman protector of a community of deformed outcasts. No doubt some would attempt to read all s

Certification15 Our Rating
May, hounded by cowboy drifter and half-brother Eddie, tries to hide from him in a seedy out-of-the-way neon-lit New Mexican motel, but he finds her.

It's very easy to feel sympathy for the characters and to understand that their complex and passionate dysfunctional relationship is a result of past events out of their control. We mainly watch them fight, make up, fight, make up and
