Alejandro Jodorowsky is one strange cookie.His two best known films are El Topo and The Holy Mountain. I watched El Topo first, at the suggestion of the Video Ezy man - he said it was "easier to understand". And right he was. I was not prepared for The Holy Mountain as a starter.. even watching it after El Topo it was still weird and strange but very cool to watch at the same time. However, I recommend El Topo for its cinematography and its easier to follow story line. And its AMAZING costumes. It made me want to dress like a cowboy bandit Mexican gunfighter. Watch out for the use of midgets ( small people?) and amputees, and be prepared for some nudity and very suggestive scenes in both movies.
ALEJANDRO YOU TRIPPER.
