"El Topo" [Mexico 1970]
Unseen for decades due to rights complications, this violent and allegorical Mexican western was perhaps the original hit 'midnight movie'. The story of gunslinger El Topo ('The Mole') who sets out for revenge against the outlaws who slew his wife; he gets that revenge and saves the life of a woman who is being terrorized by bandits. She leads him on a search for the region's top four gunfighters, a quest that becomes a hallucinatory biblical allegory filled with striking and disturbing imagery • full credits at IMDb
