Midnight movies are back! Though I never truly experienced them in their heyday (there is only so much John Waters and Rocky Horror one can take … plus I was like three years old) the tradition has been resurrected at the Art Theater off 4th street (retro row). Tonight is EL TOPO, an underground allegorical cult hit that combines a europeans view of a spaghetti western with surrealist eastern philosophy (I know … everything you could ask for right?!). I’m not entirely sure what to expect, but I saw Jodorowskys other film HOLY MOUNTAIN, which is understood to heavily inspire Matthew Barney.
Info for the Art Theater here. It only shows at midnight so you can pop into the espresso bar next door if you think you’ll fade half way through.
