Considered lost for nearly 30 years, FANDO & LIS had its world premiere at the 1968 Acapulco Film Festival. What should have marked the arrival of a new master of the surreal, instead degenerated into a full scale riot on the festival floor. The director barely escaped with his life and the festival was closed.
FANDO & LIS is a modern fable about two young people searching through a destroyed world for a mythic city called Tar where all their wishes will be fulfilled. Instead they are corrupted and driven mad.
Other Reviews of FANDO & LIS:
"FANDO & LIS is without question, one of the strangest, most bizarre and disturbing films on DVD I've ever seen. Or any other format for that matter. It makes ERASERHEAD look mainstream. I wish you could see me shaking my head from side to side in disbelief as I listen to this guy speak during the commentary."
