Would Anyone Recommend The Movie, "El Topo"?


I tried watching this years ago, and after 30 minutes, I thought, "What the fuck is this shit?" but heard it mentioned in a documentary I was watching and thought I'd ask first before attempting that again, but I might be more interested this time, since I'm out of movies to watch, and lately have been looking for more unique films.

Yes, I would recommend El Topo. I saw it once a few years ago and rated it an 8/10.

Are there subtitles in the movie? I know many don't, especially in Westerns.

I'm thinking of starting it off 30 minutes in, when I think I left off... It was exhausting to watch, and it might be just a hair too far-out for me, but I'll try to give it a chance, but I like to know every word being said. But, I do value your opinion, being a very prolific movie-watcher.

I believe there is subtitles, but it has been a while since I watched it.

I don't remember much, but I did like it.

One friend just told me, "You have to smoke 20 joints to even enjoy it a little, just like 'Zabriskie's Point'"
