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. Condidered 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 classics as El Topo, Holy Moutain, and Santa Sangre.
