What is Fando y Lis about?
Fando and his partially paralysed lover Lis search for the mythical city of Tar.
Fando y Lis is a 1968 Mexican surrealist film directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky in his feature-length directorial debut. It is an adaptation of a 1962 play of the same name by Fernando Arrabal, who was working with Jodorowsky on performance art at the time. The film was shot in high-contrast black-and-white on the weekends with a small budget and was first shown at the Acapulco Film Festival in 1968. Fando y Lis stars Sergio Klainer and Diana Mariscal as the titular pair who embark on a surreal quest in search of Tar, a mythical heaven-like place.
