| EL TOPO |
(1971)
|
|
| El Topo is a fascinating, violence-filled allegorical western about the title character's search for meaning in his life. The screen is constantly filled with dazzling panoramas of assorted grotesqueries. Using elements of Eastern fables, Catholic symbolism and others, Jodorowsky achieves a kind of comic-strip mythology. Upon its first viewing the film might seem bewildering because the narrative is overlaid with a clutter of symbols, thoughts, and ideas. Each time you watch El Topo though, you will notice more and more details you didn't pick up the first time that makes each viewing a new, different, and mind-blowing experience. |

| This is Alexandro Jordorowsky's first feature. The only existing print supposedly went up in flames years ago, but now the film has mysteriously resurfaced for future generations to enjoy. It is loosely based on a play written by one of Jodorowsky's performance-art collaborators. |

| HOLY MOUNTAIN, THE |
(1975)
|
|
| Alexandro Jodorowsky's twisted tale of the most powerful individuals in the solar system who are out to become gods and rule the universe. There are no words one can say that could adequately describe the bizarre and unforgettable imagery that makes up the Holy Mountain. Packed with enough screaming midgets and war amps to keep anyone happy. This film is crack for your VCR. |

| RAINBOW THIEF, THE |
(1990)
|
|
| Alexandro Jodorowsky's latest film is a bit more commercial, but still crazy enough in it's own right. Omar Shariff and Peter O'Toole live in a sewer beneath the city streets with a stuffed dog. |

| SANTA SANGRE |
(1989)
|
|
| This Alexandro Jodorowsky masterpiece is an extraordinary visual experience. What more could you ask for than to see a group of Corkys snort cocaine, dance, eat fresh fruit, and then go to the cathouse? Insanely awesome. |
