"The title of a Village Voice review, “Midnight Mass at the Elgin,” conveys pretty well the ambience of “El Topo's” odd current run, but its semi‐underground status is, after all, purely technical—for this is an obviously well‐financed, spectacularly professional color movie. Beyond that, it is simply a monumental work of filmic art. A vastly complex, genuinely profound comic allegory—a sort of bloody Latin‐American “Peer Gynt”—“El Topo” was written, directed, co‐produced and starred in by Jodorowsky, a veteran avant garde theater man whose protean talent includes a knack for extravagant scenic and special effects and a flair, at once zany and nervously elegant, for a kind of commedia dell'arte handling of actors."--Peter Schjeldahl, June 6, 1971, the New York Times |
