Very much a late '60s freakout, tricked out with car cemeteries and action painting in the nude, the movie is fake-profound but seldom dull.

It tells the tale of 2 young people who search through a destroyed world for a mythic city called Tar, where it is believed that all of one's wishes can come true. Instead, along the way, they are corrupted and driven mad. The film caused a riot upon its premiere at the 1968 Acapulco Film Festival. [More]

Reviews for Fando y Lis
Jodorowsky's lyrical fantasy leaves Fellini and Buñuel spluttering in its dust.
unlike in Jodorowsky's later, longer works, here the parade of oddballs, freaks and degenerates never seems to have much drive or direction.
An adorable, preposterous mutant film from the heyday of international do-your-own-thing moviemania.
For all its invocations of theater of cruelty, Fando and Lis hardly ever scares up anything stronger than unpleasant whimsey.
Undisciplined but not without effective passages, Fando & Lis isn't for all audiences, a work of provocation as much as a work of art.
