Can't wait... been eager to see this film for a while and what a great way to see it for the first time...

Oh man. Count me among the jealous. I wish they'd show it at a few other places. I've seen Holy Mountain and Santa Sangre and liked them both a lot...I'm pretty desperate to see El Topo and pretty much any other Jodorowsky films I come across.

In its way, a big influence on Lynch...
so a big thumbs-up

holy mountain, el topo and fando y liz have finally been allowed to be shown by that guy who bought the rights to them, i think they're getting a DVD release too

has anyone here read any of jodorowsky's comics, any good?

...somewhere in-between Touch of Evil and Blue Velvet...El Topo?

well, chronologically, at least

yeah they're being re-released. holy mountain's even coming iwth the soundtrack. i bought a $30 bootleg thing of all his films.

and i think el topo is the best film ever..

strangely, it was lennon's favorite too.

Went to see Holy Mountain on Friday at afore-mentioned cinema. 'nother late night screening.. gotta say, I think I preffered El Topo.. it was slightly more subtle and cryptic.. Holy Mountain was a bit too ruthlessly absurd at times although still totally excelllent.. some of it brought to mind Monty Python tho..

I saw "El Topo" a few weeks ago at the National Film Theatre in London. It's still a great film, and it's also great that it finally has been re-issued to the world at large.
