El Topo / Holy Mountain

This Christmas holiday I've had the great fortune to see El Topo by Jodorowsky.
This movie is available as a 4 DVD 2CD box set titled
The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky (Fando y Lis / El Topo / The Holy Mountain).
For under $34 from Amazon, wow!

El Topo has changed my attitude towards movies. I've yet to view Holy Mountain proper. I watched the restoration featurette. Quite an amazing difference given the digital scanning and image correction they performed in 2007 under Jodorowsky's supervision. I've seen other restorations, but this is the most dramatic improvement. The upside is that all this work probably resides as a digital file that could be distributed in digital cinemas in the future at 1080p.

Though you can Netflix this movie, just invest the money and support the artist and buy The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky (Fando y Lis / El Topo / The Holy Mountain).
