Arrabal attempt of surrealism
19 May 2007
I think this movie is Arrabal's attempt to achieve something that looks like surrealism, taking scenes from Jodorowsky's "El Topo" and turning then into just senseless images. It seems like if he was just searching for things that would look "surreal", so to put them in the film. The plot, besides all the misleading "surreal" stuff, turns out to be a simple (and very used) boring movie plot; the guy that takes the native man from his environment and shows him the city blah blah blah. Besides this, there are still good things in the movie, like the lady from the TV news in the beginning of the film or the police trying to capture the main character. I didn't like the film, but what i do like is what Jodorowky has done with Arrabal's work, turning it into a masterpiece.
