If you loved The Dance of Reality, try El Topo

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, and they both carry the foreign gem, surreal, weird mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Dance of Reality, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El Topo is

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.
