Endless Poetry

Endless Poetry portrays Alejandro Jodorowsky’s young adulthood, set in the 1940’s and 1950’s, in the electric capital city of Santiago. There, he decides to become a poet and is introduced, by destiny, into the foremost bohemian and artistic circle of the time. He meets Enrique Lihn, Stella Díaz Varín, Nicanor Parra and many other young, promising and unknown artists who would later become titans of Latin America’s literature.

El Topo

On their journey across the desert of a symbolic western landscape, the gunman El Topo and his son face a band of fetishists led by a lecherous coronel who keeps a Franciscan congregation terrorized. After killing them, El Topo leaves his son with the monks and goes off in search of the four gun masters—who a woman he loves has convinced him to kill—and is rescued from death by a group of dwarfs and disabled outcasts whom he tries to free.
