When <em>Fando y Lis</em> premiered at the Acapulco Film Festival in 1968, the audience reportedly turned on it so violently that Jodorowsky had to be smuggled out, and the film was subsequently banned in Mexico. He has told the story many times, with the embellishment of a natural showman, so the precise temperature of the outrage is hard to fix. What is not in doubt is that his first feature announced, in black and white and on almost no money, an artist who intended to assault the audience and call it liberation.</p>Sat, 08 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000
