TAGLINES : "The legendary cult classic" "The film that shocked America with its sex & violence" "The Definitive Cult Spaghetti Western" -aka "THE MOLE" - A mysterious black-clad gunfighter wanders a mystical Western landscape encountering multiple bizarre characters. El Topo decides to confront warrior masters on a transformative desert journey he begins with his six-year-old son, who must bury his childhood totems to become a man. El Topo (the mole) claims to be God, while dressed as a gun-slinger in black, riding a horse through a mystical landscape strewn with American Western and ancient Eastern religious symbols. Bandits slaughtered a village on his path, so El Topo avenges the massacred, then forcibly takes their leader's woman Mara as his. El Topo's surreal way is bloody, sexual and self-reflective, musing of his own demons, as he tries to vanquish those he encounters. Lead Actors are Alejandro Jodorowsky, Brontis Jodorowsky, José Legarreta, Alfonso Arau, David Silva. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : The title of the movie and the main character's name are a metaphor of the underground cinema in the sixties. The mole digs holes so as to emerge from the underground to the surface. This was happening with some low-budget movies that quickly gained mainstream popularity. First released as an underground film, it was thanks to John Lennon that the film acquired a worldwide distribution. He was so impressed by this movie that he urged a close friend of his to buy the rights and take charge of distribution. Other noteworthy figures said to be fans of the film, include directors David Lynch and Samuel Fuller, actors Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, and performers Bob Dylan, Marilyn Manson, and Peter Gabriel. It has been claimed that this movie was the beginning of Gabriel's inspiration for the classic Genesis concept album, 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'. The film is included on Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" list. Included among the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die", edited by Steven Schneider. Entertainment Weekly ranked this Number 11 on their "Guilty Pleasures: Testosterone Edition" list in their March 30, 2007, issue.
