I have watched El Topo twice since I ordered it. Hmmmm, what can I say? Its everything that you have heard. But... Something I wasn't prepared for... Something I hadn't heard... Its also downright silly and absurd. I guess my impression was this was a serious piece of work, a total mind fuck with a message. Well, it is a mind fuck, and it does have a message, but I found myself disappointed. Now, with a grain of salt, I did not watch it in the same frame of consciousness that was enjoyed when folks lined the block around the theater to see this film (no weed or magic mushrooms).

Must see? Yes! Must own? Not really...
