Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Smoreni Zmaj God has weird sense of humor - he made human race.Very interesting "shockumentary" from 1962.Even if it is partially faked, it's still has message that will make you think what's weirder and more savage - tribes that didn't change their ways for centuries or western civilization...This film can make you laugh and cry, shock you and make you rethink some things you were always taking for granted...Highly recommended (not to watch during, right before or right after meals) :)And again I need additional lines to be able to submit :)

Dalbert Pringle Now, here's a decidedly weird, wild, gross, perverse, sad, pathetic, sensational, little documentary whose vivid images clearly speak louder than any words ever could.Mondo Cane is the original, 1962 "Shockumentary" that just might be perfectly ideal for the jaded "been there/seen that" viewer of today.Though its content is definitely not suited for all tastes, it's actually quite surprising to see how well Mondo Cane (that's Italian for "Dog's World") holds up today, 52 years after its original theatrical release.With its in-your-face images and its leering, sneering narration, Mondo Cane explores eccentric behaviour, bizarre delicacies for consumption, and, yes, sexual taboos (amongst other things), amidst the barbarism of civilization gone insane.From every corner of the globe (excluding the Arabic world), Mondo Cane brings to the viewer a disturbing and controversial glimpse at this mad, mad, mad world which exists all around us.*Warning* - Mondo Cane contains graphic scenes of heartless cruelty towards animals.

Tyler Martinez I watched this today after having it on my NetFlix queue for a while, every once in a while I like the shocker flicks, and this one intrigued me... I was very disappointed... The opening was a little difficult to watch, and proved to be the most shocking to me. The rest of the film was hardly shocking at all, sure it had it's moments, the bull scene and the people bloodying up their legs for the Jesus run, but overall it was just a series of boring and highly forgettable stock footage clips accompanied by cheesy narration... The only thing "shocking" about this is that anyone would find it "shocking" to begin with... I guess I was just expecting a little too much.

The_Void As a big fan of cult cinema, there's usually at least one film I like in each of the main genres (with the exception of Nazisploitation), and although this is only the second 'Mondo' film that I've seen; I doubt I'll ever have a favourite in this one. Surprisingly, there was actually quite a few of these films made (I could never see them having mass market appeal, but I'm wrong apparently) and Mondo Cane was the one that kicked it all off. These films would go on to try and top each other in terms of shock value as more and more were made; but since this was the first one, it's not as shocking as some of the later ones. The Italian word 'Mondo' literally translates into English as 'world' and that is actually quite fitting as this film could be described as a visual representation of various things that go on in both the animal and human worlds. The film takes a documentary approach, although it couldn't really be considered a documentary as not all of it is exactly real, with several obviously fake sequences getting mixed in along with the real stuff.The film is not very strong, shock-wise, in terms of gore or nastiness; but it is an entirely bleak film. Just about everything in it paints a bad picture of the world; we've got tribal men taking revenge on a shark, turtles baking in the sun, people gathering up shark fins off the beach etc. A lot of the footage shown in the film is fake, and unfortunately most of is obviously fake too. This is a shame because a lot of what the film has to say is interesting; it's just hard to take seriously. I can't say I'm a big fan of documentaries in general, but rated as a documentary; this film falls down again. There's a voice-over that runs throughout, and is actually quite entertaining and informative, but there's no real narrative to the film and it does feel a lot like the filmmakers just filmed a load of stuff on a similar topic and then just stuck it all together - and to be honest, I reckon that probably is what happened. There's not really very much to recommend this film for and I wonder who it was actually aimed at; but it's interesting for the fact that it's the first 'mondo' film and some of the things in it are worth seeing...even if they are fake.
