Fra B It's a true fantasy, disjointed but with unique whimsical moments you will not find in any other movie and very refined technique. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/11/21 Full Review william k Madcap surrealist road trip in a post-apocalyptic world is full of imaginative sequences and absurd and shocking moments, but altogether doesn't seem to make much sense as a cautionary tale (which obviously was the intention). Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review júlio a Filme nadinha fácil. Mas olhando com calma, à (C) bem interessante. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Mr. Jodorowsky would go on to make ambitious and visionary films about the eccentric, the curious, and the corrupt, but his early work Fando and Lis is nothing more than disagreeably quirky. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The gateway film into the intensely surreal realm that is his repertoire, Jodorowsky's Fando Y Lis experiments with what would later become his trademark visual style. The real gem in this picture is the silent film-esque opening credits, in which black and white biblical images play over a surreal narration. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Surrealistic, raw and engrossing, Alejandro Jodorowsky's Fando y Lis is a film that has striking images of brutal violence, images that will stick with you long after you've seen. As a film, this is quite an interesting picture for what it is, and it's a film that is more for a specific type of audience as the film will surely polarize more mainstream viewers. Jodorowsky is one of those filmmakers where he crafts a film that reaches for the most bizarre aspects of cinema. He pushes the boundaries of what art is supposed to be, and this film is for the most shock art. Jodorowsky manages to craft a film that shocks and makes you question what you're watching. As a matter of fact, due to its content, it caused riots in Mexico upon release and the film was banned. I guess by today's standards the film is pretty tame, but back then, this was something else. I liked the fact that the film tried to do something quite different with how it presents us with an idea, and with that being said, it's a surreal picture that pulls you in a nightmare, one that you can't look away. Alejandro Jodorowsky picture is a captivating fantasy that is entertaining for viewer that enjoy obscured, midnight movie cult cinema. The film is not something that I would recommend for viewers who are new to his work, as it's quite bizarre, shocking and at time astounding with what happens in the film. For viewers of cult picture, you'll surely find exactly what you're looking for with Fando Y Lis, and it's a well crafted picture, even if it's not that coherent in its meaning. You'll still be trying to find what the film was about after you've seen, kind of like David Lynch's Eraserhead, which I think that like Lynch, Alejandro Jodorowsky left it up to the viewer to find meaning within the film.
