Reviews
Fando and Lis sparked mixed reactions from critics and audiences upon its release in 1970. While some praised the film for its daring visuals and unconventional storytelling, others found it to be too avant-garde and shocking. 'Fando y Lis is a raw and uncompromising exploration of love and madness, pushing the boundaries of cinema,' noted one critic from Metacritic. However, a reviewer from IMDb criticized the film's fragmented narrative and excessive symbolism. Overall, Fando and Lis remains a divisive cult classic that continues to polarize viewers due to its bold experimentation and intense emotional impact.
