Title: Available in the new Jodorowsky box set from Anchor Bay/ABCKO...
Product review: This DVD is now available in the Anchor Bay/ABCKO box set. The Anchor/ABCKO transfer is better than the original Fantoma release. The documentary on the Fantoma release is also included on the Anchor Bay disc, and the commentary is the same here as it is on the Anchor/ABCKO release. Unfortunately, this disc is not available seperately (like El Topo and The Holy Mountain are) from Anchor Bay. You have to buy the box set to get it. Fando is a great film, quite brilliant in its own way. It's been rarely seen since it caused a riot at the Acupulco Film Festival in 1968. It was subsequently banned in Mexico, and presumed lost. Thankfully, it isn't. The Fantoma release did come with a nice booklet about Jodorowsky and a reproduction of the original press material for Fando; the Anchor Bay edition doesn't. So, should you upgrade to the box set? Personally, I would say yes.
