ZOL

The eponymous Snowman wakes up on a desert movie set in B movie director Boone Weller’s sprawling new epic, Zol. Told in a mix of melodrama, slapstick, documentary and cinema verité, and packed with drug cartels, coyotes, revolutionaries, fire-breathing dragons, human sacrifice and magic, this blockbuster unfolds in a Dalían landscape along a chimerical Pan-American highway deep in the heart of Mexico as the Snowman continues his quest for a mythical place called Zol and an enigmatic friend named Margarito.

“If MATS is for for fans of films such as Paul Schrader’s Blue Collar (1978) and Kevin Smith’s Clerks (1993), then Zol, with largely the same cast and continued story, is for fans of Alejandro Jodorowski’s El Topo (1970) and Alex Cox’s Walker (1987).“
