Movie Reviews of Fando & Lis
Movie Review: Available in the new Jodorowsky box set from Anchor Bay/ABCKO...
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is now available in the Anchor Bay/ABCKO box set. The Anchor/ABCKO transfer is better than the original Fantoma release. The documentary on the Fantoma release is also included on the Anchor Bay disc, and the commentary is the same here as it is on the Anchor/ABCKO release. Unfortunately, this disc is not available seperately (like El Topo and The Holy Mountain are) from Anchor Bay. You have to buy the box set to get it. Fando is a great film, quite brilliant in its own way. It's been rarely seen since it caused a riot at the Acupulco Film Festival in 1968. It was subsequently banned in Mexico, and presumed lost. Thankfully, it isn't. The Fantoma release did come with a nice booklet about Jodorowsky and a reproduction of the original press material for Fando; the Anchor Bay edition doesn't. So, should you upgrade to the box set? Personally, I would say yes.
Summary of Fando & Lis
Using only one page script and the memory of his stage production, director Alejandro Jodorowsky blended surreal beauty and savage imagery to fashion this bizarre tale of corrupted innocence, sadomasochistic love, and unattainable paradise. Fando and Lis premiered at the 1968 Acapulco Film Festival, inciting a riot that forced the director to flee for his life. In the ensuing scandal, the film was banned. Jodorowsky was branded a heretic, forced ot stand trial and nearly deported. Considered lost for over 30 years, Fantoma is proud to present the director's cut of Fando and Lis, the visionary first film from the creator of such cult classic as El Too, Holy Mountain, and Santa Sangre.Action & Adventure DVD Video
