Spaghetti head trip

Posted : 2 years, 1 month ago at May 22 4:59
I left my sofa having experienced the most surreal filmic experience of my life. I thought 'Tommy' was strange until I saw El Topo.

El Topo can be best described as a psychedelic head trip western. It's modeled on the spaghetti westerns of the late sixties, but that does not mean you should expect a Leone clone.

Four thousand buckets of fake blood were used during this film, its imagery is steeped in the occult, sufism and the bible. Its director 'Alexandra Jodorowsky's' mind is not one I would even attempt to get inside, but I'll go as far to say that Jodorowsky (El Topo) is Christ on a blood bathed mission to resurrection and ultimately sainthood.

My brain hurts.
