1968 | Mexico | Black & White | 93 min.

The first feature-length film by Alejandro Jodorowsky is a strange tale of lost innocence, sadomasochistic love and unattainable paradise. Based on a play by the same name by Fernando Arrabal, it tells the story of a young couple (Fando, impotent, and Lis, paraplegic) in search of the mythical city of Tar, where they find spiritual ecstasy.
