BRONTIS JODOROWSKY

I always intended that Starz would feature the unusual as well as the mainstream, so here is one of the more unusual movies. Brontis acted in the cult spaghetti western movie "El Topo" which also starred his Dad (Alexandro) who directed the movie as well. It's a long movie at over 2 hours long and Brontis features in about the first half an hour. He doesn't get to say a word, doesn't wear any clothes (except a hat) and he gets to shoot someone! As I said it is a most unusual movie, the sort that you either love or hate. I just happen to think he has such a good face and I always like the different, ground breaking type of movie. I agree with Brontis' Dad's summing up of 'El Topo', "If you're great 'El Topo' is a great picture. If you're limited 'El Topo' is limited." I like it and I agree with the publicity "You will never experience a more bizarre but compelling film."
