"The REAL El Topo by Alexandro Jodorowsky is excellent for fans of cult films. Stange, violent imagery, weird nudity, an all around great film. Contact me about this and other films."
EL TOPO THE NOTORIOUS JORODOFSKY FILM IS NOT ON VIDEO
KEVIN KRAVITZ | Richmond, VA | 02/28/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Every time you see the mexican film EL TOPO on video it is always a bootleg. Even at the video store for rental. The same holds true for THE HOLY MOUNTAIN and the Beatles LET IT BE. They are all three owned by apple records ceo Allen Klein, and he won't even return Alejandro Jorodofsky's phone calls to put them on video. What is Klein waiting for? They are on Japanese laserdisk which is the source of the vhs copies, and just like napster, Jorodofsky encourages film buffs to seek these films out anyway they can! Santa Sangre is on video, however."

Violating the L00Pholes in ordinary filmmaking
C. Christopher Blackshere | I am the devil's reject | 04/06/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Ready to tumble down the proverbial rabbit hole?
Alejandro Jodorowsky artfully fornicates with your fragile expectations and relaxed perceptions with this collection of unrestrained attacks on your senses. Never a dull or a normal moment, he constantly tries to challenge and provoke you with his shocking imagery.
This boxed set offers 4 of his finest achievements--La Cravate, Fando y Lis, El Topo, and The Holy Mountain. They are all engaging, controversial, and odd pieces of art. They seem like psychedilic paintings in pepetual motion. Lots of violence and strong sexual imagery. Plus plenty of moments deemed extremely sacrilegious by many at the time. AJ was a ballsy director that didn't try to appeal to the masses. He uses vivid allegory while juggling illusion and truth. Plus I love how he basically pisses on the standard formulas of filmmaking.
The madness originated from Chile, Jodorowsky is known as the father of the midnight movies
