Chilean born filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky changed the world in 1971 when he released El Topo, a bizarre psychedelic Mexican western. The film became an immediate hit on the burgeoning midnight movie scene. Since then Jodorowsky has done a number of wonderful films, all fascinating and beautiful, such as Holy Mountain, The Rainbow Thief and Santa sangre. They are all highly personal tales filled with commentary on religion, sex and so much more. Jodorowsky has also done groundbreaking work on comic...

I've always wanted to see El Topo. I didn't think I'd ever get to see it in a theater, though. This is really cool news.

Great news. I have been looking for the DVD all these years. The film exploded in the midst of my - still cherished - acid days and never left my mind.

We can agree to disagree. I think you are stupid and I suppose you probably don't.

Edited to say: THE ABOVE IS A JOKE AND I CAN'T STAND TO SEE A GROWN MAN CRY.

Further edited to say: WAIT, THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEEDING WAS ANOTHER JOKE. THERE TRULY WAS NO ACTUAL CRYING, PER SE. JUST SOME SNIFFLING.

Final edit: HOLD ON, THAT WAS ANOTHER JOKE. NOBODY IS STUPID AND I'M SURE THE WRITER OF THIS INTERVIEW DID A SUPER GREAT JOB.

Wow. This is awesome news. I hope this means more people will appreciate his work and that he gets the credit he deserves as a filmaker/artist.

I absolutely love El Topo. This is great news. I've seen several of his movies, all of which changed my perception of the world. It is possible to change the world even if only the creator sees what is created. If you do not understand that, you understand nothing. I think I am going to watch Holy Mountain tonight. I've read one of the graphic novels with moebius. It was god damn inventive. Huge imagination.

His son, not so much a talent that I appreciate.

I've already written a bit about this in my blog, and Anders's blog, and... well the last almost-4-years in my blog- I've done everything from transcribe whole pages of the interviews from the El Topo script-book into my blog, to discuss the Fando & Lis DVD interviews...

If you are a big Jodorowsky fan, you'd want to check out the El Topo book through an interlibrary loan at your local branch: El Topo: the Book of the Film, the author is Jodorowsky, published by Putnam, January 1972, ISBN 0825634024. That should be enough info for them to order it. Also, I trust you will be able to buy the new DVDs soon that he mentions in this SG interview, but also a good independent movie store might have decent copies to rent, and I'd gotten copies of the old Japanese laser disc versions from trashpalace.com... a useful place to look up old and unusual foreign films by other folks besides Jodorowsky (such as Jess Franco).
