BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

adrianawebuhm I wasn't immediately convinced with this film, El Topo. The initial scenarios seemed too strange in an ugly sort of way... to put it simply. However it gradually became clear that this was the intended style of the beginning of the film and I decided to see the film for what it is, instead of what it wasn't. Then it continued to change. I was engaged by the Western element of the film. Jodorowsky himself played quite a stylish lead actor, and while the film was weird, it began to get weirder... in a good way. It had a unique taste. This wasn't your average Spaghetti Western wannabe. This was a truly unique film. Some of the images and montages that transpired were awe-inspiring and it started to become clearer that this was a real art work and not just an ordinary film. As the film went on it reached a metaphysical level, really mythical too. As with films like Embrace of the Serpent from South America, you feel that Jodorowsky is both critical of the bizarre Christian symbolism he mixes with the native peoples of those parts. He creates a unique fusion that I must admit, I don't know very much of how this all fits into the history and culture in Chile or South America... nevertheless I found El Topo to be quite a fascinating piece!

Isaiah Collins If said too much about this movie, you will miss out on the surprise that you will get out of it. El Topo's bizarreness takes you through the desert of surreal madness, meeting new, creepy, and funny characters throughout. While watching this movie, I realized that Alejandro Jodorowsky changes up his style of the movie a bit, making it completely different in each scene. This is probably one of he most unique movies I have ever seen. And if you love to watch a movie in a more artful approach then this is one of those artistic masterpieces for you to highly consider watching. You won't regret this film at all, due to how satisfying it is to the eye.

cherron1234 According to certain sources,this film was some how an inspiration of sorts for famous people such as Marilyn Manson and John Lennon, to name a few. With that being said, I watched this film in hopes of being inspired, and boy was I wrong. This was the absolute worst piece of garbage that I've ever seen. Not one single second of this entire movie made sense. The fact that I sat through the entire thing without shoving pencils in my ears and clawing my own eyeballs out, is nothing short of amazing. The director of this movie clearly did not put forth much effort into making a movie that is deemed fit for human viewing for a person with a fully functional brainWould watch again

matt_1910 very boring movie... not a message, not technique, nothing interesting to see. Just trying to appear a high class movie..... The film was selected as the Mexican entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 44th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee..... Its official DVD release was in 2007. It copies some stuff from David Lynch, Korosawa, and the whole others but nothing new. Well, a lot of films don't have any interesting message, and you watch, just to be entertained, This movie even doesn't have that. The reason I didn't like this movie is that it tries to appear like a high class movie, which is not. It looks like a c**t in a temple, just inappropriate.
