[SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!]
"What would you do if you were a famous pianist and I cut off one of your arms?"
"I'd be a famous painter!"
This started out good. Bizarre mystical images and a story teller. I thought, dialogue in an Alejandro Jodorowsky flick? And story development?! And this early on?! I loved the whole intro and the love between Fando and Lis. Then... everything went sour. Fando turned out to be a psychotic fucking asshole, apparently they messed up when they supposedly took the madness stone out of his head when he was a child. I don't like hating the main character of a movie. And of course the story just stopped explaining itself and decided to just happen and rely on imagery in a manner that only Jodorowsky can think of. His first feature length film, and his worst, which is expected. His imagery becomes more bizarre and beautiful in his later works.
4/10
VERDICT: SKIP IT
