Round 10: Tossup 12

Description NOT acceptable. In a minute-long shot, this character is beaten up by a man who had shown him a geodesic dome he had fashioned with red toothpicks. In two scenes depicting this character performing a comedy routine in which stools are whisked away just before they are sat upon, the background features posters depicting an eye in a triangle. In a birds-eye shot, this character slowly walks towards a puddle of water in the middle of a field strewn with the corpses of rabbits. Shots of turtle eggs and water spewing from a phallic stone precede an allegedly (*) unsimulated scene in which this character rapes a woman, who abandons him (10[1])for a masculine-voiced woman wearing a feminine version of his outfit. Pauline Kael coined a term (10[1])associated with films like Walker and Dead Man in a review of a film titled for this character, (10[1])who rides with (10[1])his naked (10[1])son on a black horse (10[1])in the desert. (10[1])For 10 points, name (10[1])this title outlaw of an “acid western” by Alejandro (10[1])Jodorowsky (10[1])■END■
