El Topo (18)

A mysterious character dressed in black called El Topo spends his life digging tunnels, rather like a mole. When he finally emerges from the ground, El Topo becomes embroiled in the lives of strange denizens including the Four Masters of the Desert, an enslaved woman called Mara and his young son Hijo.

Limited release of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s freakish 1970 western-drama, about a character called El Topo, who spends his life digging tunnels, rather like a mole. When he finally emerges from the ground, going blind in the process, El Topo becomes embroiled in the lives of strange denizens including the Four Masters of the Desert.
