Excerpt: Alejandro Jodorowsky (Spanish pronunciation: ) (born 7 February 1929) is a Chilean filmmaker, playwright, composer and writer. Best known for his avant-garde films, he has been "venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts" for his work which "is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation." His most notable works include El Topo (1970), The Holy Mountain (1973) and Santa Sangre (1989), all of which have had limited release but achieved popularity amongst various countercultural groups. Jodorowsky is also a playwright and play director, having produced over one hundred plays, primarily in Mexico where he lived for much of his life. Alongside this he is also a writer, particularly of comic books as well as books on his own theories about spirituality. Jodorowsky has been involved in the occult and various spiritual and religious groups, including Zen Buddhism and forms of Mexican shamanism, and has formulated his own spiritual system, which he has called "psychomagic" and "psychoshamanism". Jodorowsky was born in 1929 in the coastal town of Iquique in Tocopilla, Chile to parents who were Jewish immigrants from Russia. His father, Jaime Jodorowsky, was a merchant who was largely abusive to his wife Sara Felicidad, at one time accused her of flirting with a...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=262658 ... Read more

A HUGE SPLASH OF SPAGHETTI
It's safe to say that this book is easy to digest while the film of the same name will probably make you regergitate everything you just digested. A film full of symbolism, mythology, and a high doze of violence & "GORE." The book is an in-depht psychological break down of EL TOPO while the film deals with the abstract and supernatural. Think of the TV show "Kung-Fu" with a layer of Antonioni's "Zabrisky Point" a sprincle of Jim Morrison's "HWY" with a huge splash of spaghetti "For a Few Dollars More" and a red dash of "Apocolypse Now."

I personally have a DVD copy of EL TOPO from a Japanese import and would expand on the film but this book does more justice to this cult classic....

Even better than the movie.
This rare book is even better than the cult movie on which it's based.The first half of the book is the screenplay; there are many B+W photos to help you picture what the characters look like, which is quite nice since there are some pretty weird characters.

In the screenplay, Jodorowsky has added notes and descriptions in between the lines dialogue.This is extremely helpful as it helps make clear the many metaphors in the movie.Whereas in the actual film some of the scenes and symbols are unclear and are kind of cheesy due to the movie's low budget, Jodorowsky's writing makes the scenes come alive and makes them more meaningful.

The second half of this book is an interview with Jodorowsky, which is a treat because in his everyday speech, he talks like a poet.

If you can afford a copy, I would recommend this book for any Jodorowsky fan or anyone who likes cult movies.

Incredible
I read this book in 1975, just after seeing the film.I have no idea if the movie would stand the test of time.I understand it was withdrawn from distribution and can no longer be seen.But at the time, I thought it was fantastic!The story of the gunslinger (as metophor for seeker of truth) fighting the other masters in the desert -- the strange cavern full of mutants -- all of it must be seen to be believed!A group of us went back and saw this film over and over again.I still don't know what it all meant, with its strange amalgam of sufism, buddhism, etc, but I wouldn't mind seeing it again. ADDENDUM: Well, I did see it again recently, and found it very difficult to watch.I assume those butchered animals were actually killed for the movie.It was interesting, but didn't work for me anymore.Boohoo!

fantastic
el topo is a trip in to the mind of a man who is looking for himself,an extraordinary piece of literature,jodorowsky is probely one of the great genious of art still unknow.you have to read el topo and you will be agreater person

I saw the film in 1971.Where can I buy a copy?
I saw the film 28 years ago.It had an effect on me immediately and ever since.I still remember vividly the scene where El Topo falls into a volcanic crater and lands in a village isolated and suffering from lack ofgenetic diversity. The scene with the whips.The silver star under thehero's heart, facing the man who never loses."Shoot him!"Whata film! ... Read more

Product Description
El loro de siete lenguas fue mi primera novela. No quise crear las aventuras de un personaje. sino las de un grupo de arquetipos. cada uno representando un aspecto de nuestra alma. tal como los veintidós arcanos mayores del Tarot. Y tal como el neófito que al comienzo ve en esas cartas. aparte de las calidades. una multitud de aspectos negativos para después poco a poco. a medida que va desentrañando sus símbolos. llegar a verlas en su belleza sublime. así presenté a mis veintidós artistas: al comienzo. borrachos contumaces. débiles. confusos. ajenos a sí mismos y a la realidad; luego. por necesarios azares. enfrentados con la miseria de su país. convertidos en anónimos payasos; después. en fugitivos; y por fin en héroes. que llegan a una iluminación (en el sentido de realización espiritual) que no buscaban pero que los aguardaba como ineludible meta.
