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.
