Alejandro Jodorowsky is a terrific filmmaker, and he doesn't compromise whatsoever. If you're looking for something a bit different in the genre, El Topo is that film to watch. The film should definitely be rediscovered by genre fans, but due to some of its striking images, this may not appeal to everyone. As far as Westerns are concerns, I would call El Topo as one of the finest along with Once Upon a Time in the West, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and The Wild Bunch. Brilliantly shot, acted and with a great story, this is a fine picture that is almost a forgotten classic of the genre. No other Western has taken such an approach as Jodorowsky. Cult director Judorowsky also acts, and he delivers a film that is remarkable in the way that it showcases its violence. El Topo is a great film, a film that is unprecedented in its raw energy, and fluid direction. Alejandro Jodorowsky crafts a stunning, visceral and action packed Western film that can actually be compared to some of the genres finest works.
