SCRIPT
Alejandro Jodorowsky
El Topo is a 1970 Mexican acid Western art film written, scored, directed by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky. Characterized by its bizarre characters and occurrences, use of maimed and dwarf performers, and heavy doses of Judeo-Christian symbolism and Eastern philosophy, the film is about "El Topo"—a violent, black-clad gunfighter played by Jodorowsky himself—and his quest for enlightenment.
Actors: Alejandro Jodorowsky, Alfonso Arau, Bertha Lomelí, Brontis Jodorowsky, Julián de Meriche, David Silva, Agustín Isunza, Cecilia Leger, José Luis Fernández
