Review of El Topo

El Topo (1970)
7/10
Recipe for El Topo
23 July 1999
Considering viewing El Topo? Imagine this: combine 2 parts Sergio Leone, 1 part Last Temptation of Christ, 1 part Easy Rider, 1 part Three Amigos, 1 part Houston's The Bible, a dash of Kubrick-esque, 1,000 dead rabbits, a lot of red paint, a huge ego, and some bad acid. Bake very well. This movie is epic in its scope as well as its silliness, and times profound and at times idiotic, so disgusting it hurts and one of the movies you do not watch with your parents. You will love it if you love movies, and laugh about it all the way back to the rental store. P.S. Jack Valenti would have a field day with this one.
