With the HD remastered versions of Alejandro Jodorowsky's cult classic films beginning to roll out to art houses across America - dates and locations here - some new materials from the films are starting to roll out, notably at the moment two lengthy scenes from El Topo. Bring 'em on!
El Topo Scene One (downloadable Quicktime)
El Topo Scene Two (downloadable Quicktime)
If someone wants to carpool from Dallas to Austin with me in March, I'm SO ready for this! I wish it was closer, though I'm not surprised its not in Dallas considering the general dearth of real culture here.
It would be very interesting to see how american culture will read again the Jodo's art.
It'll be ignored outside of the arthouse circuit.
Wait… DVD? There's a DVD of El Topo coming, not just a brief theatrical rerelease? Really?
Yup. All the remastered Jodo's will be hitting DVD sometime in 2007.
