"El Topo" (The Mole) was written by, directed by, and stars Alejandro Jodorowsky. In addition Jodorowsky also contributed to the music, editing, and costumes of this midnight western. The whole film is an act of symbolism, yet no distinct lines are drawn, thus everyone who watches this film will come away with a different understanding.
The film begins with El Topo (Jodorowsky) clad in black, and his 7 year old son (played by real life son Brontis Jodorowsky), wearing only a hat, riding through the desert to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a presumably predetermined place. El Topo instructs his son [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that he is now a man, and therefore must now bury his childhood. This childhood being symbolized by the child's first toy, and a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] picture of his mother.
It is never quite explained why the child appears as [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] he does in the first part of the film, but one can guess that this is to portray his purity [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and innocence in contrast to the dark aura manifested by his father who is a heartless gunfighter.
After his initiation into manhood, father and son ride off apparently with no specific destination in mind. They soon [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] enter a village where all the inhabitants (man, woman, and child), including livestock have been slaughtered. The two pilgrims walk calmly through the town, taking it all in with an air of nonchalance. They soon encounter a single survivor [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] who begs them to kill him. After finding out [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] who had massacred the villagers, El Topo hands his pistol to his son [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] instructing him to shoot the man. The child obeys, but quickly buries himself in his father's arms.
El Topo proceeds to hunt down the outlaws who had killed the townspeople. After killing them all, he then abandons his son to a group of monks and rides off with the woman who had been held captive by the outlaws. This then carries the viewer into the second part of the film which [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is even more extravagant than the first.
While the first part of the film was a portrayal of good over evil, the second part represents [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a more muddled view of good and evil. The viewer is left with the impression that there is neither black nor white, that all is simply a grey area, where all outcomes, good or evil, are simply the work of fate.
"El Topo" is not rated, but viewer discretion is advised.
