(28)Cult Classic... senseless though!
By Harveytwo (54 reviews) from Nottingham , 22 Aug 2009Like all cult titles you feel left out of the joke if you don't see it at least once!
About half way into it I realised that it was some kind of head trip that probably required drugs to help it along! The use of physically challenged actors and strange, fragmented structure that thinks its making sense must be the appeal.
Not helping was the film's thumbs up from Lennon that makes people feel that unless they don't like it too they're missing something special.
I have no idea what was going on and while I can say I've seen it I think this is another film made by a director for that same director and not so much for a wide audience.

Couldn't watch
By v0lterra (10 reviews) from Reading , 01 Jul 2009Stopped watching after a few minutes. My wife wasn't well and the film was the wrong choice.- Was this review helpful to you?

El Topo
By a customer from Norwich , 25 Apr 2009Wow! I think someone slipped me a couple of E's when I wasn't looking. Strange, crazy, a need to keep watching to see what might come next, only to find in retrospect it was rather boring.- Was this review helpful to you?

Unfathomable
By a customer from Ripley , 06 Apr 2009If you prefer something with some kind of plot, probably best to avoid this one, These are the kind of films that will encourage the devoutly artistic to debate at length the use of symbolism and the role of film as a barometer of social change, whilst the rest of us just wonder if they accidentally put the film together in the wrong sequence.- Was this review helpful to you?

AMAZING!!!
By a customer from London , 01 Apr 2009This stuff woke me up! ... its challenging cinema and you need to be in the right mood to watch it, but no one makes movies like this today and its a real pity. Watching it with the commentary on subtitles makes a real difference. You cant expect to understand everything here without it. The movies are visually stunning, profound, realistic, relevant and out there all at the same time. John Lennon loved El Topo, George Harrison nearly starred in The Holy Mountain (which is also the inspiration for MGMT's Time to pretend video).- Was this review helpful to you?
