PROJECT BUTTERFLY FILM NIGHTS | THU | 25 SEP 08 | 8pm | $5

"If you're great, El Topo is a great picture. If you are limited, El Topo is limited."
- Alejandro Jodorowsky

Bring a blanket & pillow and join us for Project Butterfly's first Film Night featuring EL TOPO, a film by Alejandro Jodorowsky.

"There has never been a film as filled with metaphorical and metaphysical chock-a-block like El Topo. Buddhism butts head with Castaneda, geysers of water erupt from phallic rock outcroppings, an armless man wears a legless man on his back, butterfly nets catch bullets, and there are pools of blood and fiery exorcisms. Much of the metaphorical imagery in El Topo is difficult to decipher -- Tarot and
alchemy, religion and politics -- and it's layered with cultural nuances. But even if you don't get it, it works. The film operates on a basic level, dreamlike, hallucinatory, and at the same time it's quite funny, even endearing in parts. Other times it's exceedingly violent...

El Topo is a magic mushroom feast for the senses that is maddening and magnificent at the same time." -filmcritic.com
