5. El Topo archive review: stormy surrealism in the desert heat - BFI

  • Jan 9, 2020 · Alejandro Jodorowsky's landmark acid western is re-released in a new 4K restoration. On its original release, our critic found it to be an absurd and energetic ...

  • Many a lone horseman has drifted in across the high hot plains since the days of Shane, purged a restless group of townsfolk of their vices and guilts, and dwindled once again into the desert leaving a pile of corpses to be disposed of by the survivors.

He wins too many battles for his audience to risk not being on his side, and although he has become a little more vulnerable in the last decade his potency as a freedom fighter is undiminished. Billy the Kid lives on.
