Let’s Get Weird

Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1970 Mexican cult western, El Topo, was finally released on DVD in May, after being pulled from circulation and withheld from screenings by its producer (and influential 1960’s rock manager) Allen Klein for over 30 years. John Lennon said it was his favorite movie, and other fans include Marilyn Manson and David Lynch. Gunfights, dwarfs, and disfigured characters mixed heavily with eastern philosophy and Christian symbolism… film doesn’t get much more arty.
