The highly eccentric and totally brilliant Alexandro Jodorowsky doesn't make films like anybody else. Directed, written by and starring the man himself "El Topo" is a violent, surreal, quasi-religious Western, if that makes sense (which like the film it doesn't).

FANDO Y LIS (1968)
Certification18 Our Rating
Fando and his partially paralyzed lover Lis search for the mythical city of Tar. Based on Jodorowsky's adaptation of a play by surrealist Fernando Arrabal. Yup, it's that vague, but strangely moving. Whoever kicked away this guy's financial crutches was an enemy of mystic art! Alejandro Jodorowsky is considered a genius by many and a fraud by others, so please make your own mind up.

ONDINE (2009)
Certification12 Our Rating
An Irish trawlerman, recovering alcoholic Syracuse, lives with his disabled daughter. One day he catches a strange fish in his net - a scantily clad young lady... or is she a mythical selkie? Will this be the woman of his dreams? Is this a fairy-tale? Do selkies really take their clothes off this easily?
A sentimental tribute to myth; both that of the half-human half-seal selkie and, more so, that of a whimsical rural Ireland.

SANTA SANGRE (1990)
Certification18 Our Rating
Eat your heart out David Lynch! This movie has it all - sex, mutilation, religion, obsession, revenge and a circus which makes Archaos look like a branch of the Young Conservatives. The plot defies description, suffice to say it is perversely funny, grotesquely bizarre and definitely not family viewing.
