Really well done video. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this! I have just recently got into Jodorowsky's filmography and I adore Fando y Lis! One great way of looking at the film is through the lens of mental vs physical disability. Lis is obviously paralyzed. A lot of Fando's erratic behavior throughout the film could be explain through a mental illness or disability. Of course, the film is far too ambiguous to try and pin it as one thing!

Fantastic video. Thank you! Jodorowsky is a favorite. Suggestions for a future video? What about 'Inland Empire'?

One of the great influential films in my history of movie watching. It touches me in ways that are so deep, and connects me to some timeless realm that stretches back into my childhood imagination. I fell in love with Diana Mariscal, and over the years delved into who she was. I discovered a magical person from Mexico, who also became mentally unstable later, retreated into self isolation, and died tragically. I made a film about her "Diana y Lis- A Mexican Life" that's available on KZbin.

I'm gonna watch El Topo, Holy Mountain, and Santa Sangre for an assignment but I'd thought I check out some info about Fando y Lis before that! Thanks for this piece! SUBBED!

The Begotten is worth a look.

Eh, he seemed like a real sexist, and a womanizer.

I’ve only spent a couple hours looking into him and his work. Do tell more please.
