I can not explain this movie but did enjoy it.
Dario Argento meets David Lynch?
It has a surreal and visual quality and the music/sound effects enhanced the viewing.
Almost like an accident you can not look away from but a tender side too.
Worth a look for the adventurous viewer.

It's Alejandro Jodorowsky at his outre' best and one hell of a Western.

  ..3 years after El Topo.
  
  Equally kitsch/mystic with platform boots mixing with Kaftans & the Tarot (now a fav topic of AJ who teaches tarot classes in Paris)
  
  I rented El Topo again years later (loved it when it came out) and ended up being the only viewer left in the room!
  
  They're very dated but I still love their innocence,rage & 'vision'.
- I have not seen El Topo, I hear it is quite bloody... - PhilJ 22:10:37 03/14/11 (0)
  It ran as a midnight movie in NY during the 70s for a period
  
  maybe someday I will venture a peek

I can hardly believe anyone else saw it... - mkuller 21:00:21 03/14/11 (0)
...I rented it after Roger Ebert recommended it on "At the Movies".

One of the most bizarre films I've seen.

And I've seen a few.
