I can’t see the original note for some reason 🤷

I think you’re right, though, you miss a lot of what El Topo is about the first time you see it.

But that’s one of the things I love about cinema, you can revisit films you watched 10 or 20 years ago, and have a completely different understanding of them. And I think that’s especially true of someone like Jodorowsky, whose works are so open interpretation anyway.

I guess it also depends on what else you’re watching. I remember watching a few Keneth Anger films around the same time and everything seemed to make sense 😂
