Film Details: El Topo [Anchor Bay] DVD | Dir.: Alexandro Jodorowsky (Alejandro Jodorowsky) | Cast: Alexandro Jodorowsky (Alejandro Jodorowsky), Jacqueline Luis, Mara Lorenzio, David Silva, Alfonso Aran
An able gunslinger, nicknamed "El Topo" (The Mole) leaves his son Miguel in a Franciscan Mission and, for the love of a woman, accepts a duel against four invincible masters. He conquers all of them one by one. However, the woman betrays him with a bullet to his chest. The gunman later wakes up to find himself in the deep mountains where he was dragged to safety by a community of deformed people. This is the beginning of a new existence for the man, taking on the role of protector for these people and promising to bring them into the light. A dwarf girl helps him bring her people out from the dark caves underground and later becomes a juggler in the small town below. The townspeople, however, are a jolly and lazy people who hide their hardships under a veil of honour. They are fanatically religious, racist and with an undercurrent of aberrant sexuality. At the end of the tunnel, the deformed people can finally escape from the web of darkness and make their way to the foot of the mountain and into the village below. But the townspeople are armed and ready to destroy them.
