Fando and Lis (1968)
3/10
cheap and disappointing film
29 September 2000
The accompanying documentary (on DVD) was much better than the film itself. I found that watching Fando and Lis with Jodorowsky's commentary in the background added tremendously to my viewing experience since it successfully detracted from incoherent and amateurish images and story line of the film. In the commentary, the author describes his idiosyncratic philosophy of life, art and everything, including making of this movie. Unfortunately, I disagree with Jodorowsky, and perhaps with Freud himself, about the deprived nature of our inner self. The film itself is boring and cannot be compared to surrealist masterpieces of Bunuel, Lynch or early Chytilova.
