These extraordinary films, presented here alongside his stunning new film Psychomagic, bedazzled audiences with their unique aesthetic, contrasting violence and beauty; the sublime and the sacrilegious; the mystical and the macabre... Jodorowsky s first feature, Fando y Lis, tells of young Fando and his paregic sweetheart Lis s journey through a series of surreal scenarios to find the enchanted city of Tar.
