El Topo

The Wild Bunch meets Night of the Hunter with a pinch of spaghetti-western surreality. A wandering, black-clad gunman drags his young son across a sun-blasted frontier to challenge mystic masters and test his own myth. A child’s innocence is the bullet that makes the bloodlands sing. Jodorowsky’s acid western.
