The soundtrack CD from the Anchor Bay Jodorowsky boxset. Here's a
description of the film itself:
Rivers of blood, gunfights, philosophy-spewing freaks, gay
banditos with a shoe fetish, passive-aggressive prostitutes, and
sandy tableaux of human and animal carcasses populate the world's
greatest spiritual western. Still holding its place in history
books as the first acknowledged "midnight movie," Alejandro
Jodorowsky's El Topo (translation: "The Mole") virtually passed
into oblivion thanks to the efforts of its American rights owner,
'60s rock guru Allen Klein, to keep it off the market following a
violent dispute with the notoriously eccentric director.
Fortunately Japanese home video and the ensuing gray market kept
its reputation alive, with new generations of viewers discovering
its crackpot charms and passing word of mouth on to friends. One
can only imagine its impact in 1970, when 2001: A Space Odyssey
and Fantasia had brought head culture cinema into the mainstream;
El Topo extends beyond these studio efforts and drags the viewer's
consciousness on a whirling rollercoaster ride of violence,
religious theory, and stunning imagery that only coalesces
together in the realm of dreams.
Clad in black leather, self-absorbed loner El Topo (Jodorowsky)
rides into the desert with his naked son, Brontis, ordering him to
bury his toys and a portrait of his mother so that he may become a
man. Afterwards they encounter the slain residents of a nearby
village, inspiring El Topo to hunt down and kill the perpetrator,
the Colonel. El Topo ditches his little boy to ride off with the
Colonel's woman, Mara Lorenzio, who encourages him to wipe out the
Four Masters who control this forbidding territory. One by one he
encounters the Masters, who demonstrate different abilities and
philosophical viewpoints before their showdowns. At this point the
film takes a bizarre, pre-Mulholland Drive plot turn involving a
time jump, subterranean freaks, and the grown Brontis, leading to
an appropriately grim and transcendent finale.
Despite the hordes of peculiar characters on display, El Topo is
Jodorowsky's show all the way. Apart from acting, directing, and
writing this opus, he served as production designer and composed
the evocative, Morricone-inspired score, which was even given a
deluxe vinyl release from Klein's Apple Records. The film isn't
really so different from Jodorowsky's previous film, Fando and
Lis, but the addition of color brings an increased sense of
immediacy by contrasting the profuse, ultra-red blood with the
vivid blues in the skies. Obviously the disconnected narrative and
parade of surrealistic imagery will prove tough going for cult
movie newcomers, but for those interesting in checking out
Jodorowsky's work, this is a solid place to start along with his
more linear Santa Sangre.
