El Topo (“The Mole”) is a 1970 Mexican avant-garde acid Western art film written, scored, directed by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky. Characterized by its bizarre characters and occurrences, use of maimed and dwarf performers, and heavy doses of Christian symbolism and Eastern philosophy, the film is about the eponymous character – a violent, black-clad gunfighter – and his quest for enlightenment.

This rare book of the screenplay is filled with continuity photos from the film as well as an interview with the influential filmmaker and counter-culture personality.
