Product Description

Product Description

'All the scenes you will see in this film are true. If they are shocking, it is only because there are many shocking things in this world...' with those words, Directors Gualtiero Jacopetti, Paolo Cavara and Franco Prosperi unleashed the international sensation that stunned critics and moviegoers alike while revolutionizing the documentary genre forever. Filmed in every corner of the world, this landmark epic explores the culture of life and death, the anguish of man and beast, and the taboos of sex and religion, all amidst the barbarism of civilization gone insane. This is the original 'Shockumentary' that started it all. This is MONDO CANE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mondo Cane rises again!
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2008

I love this film even more now than when it first appeared 46 years ago! And now it has been lovingly repackaged and smartly re-presented with many Special Features on DVD thanks to "Blue Underground". It seems to be made from a master copy or perhaps it has been digitally remastered. I think it's brilliant in every way, humour, satire, direction and is a classic in cinematography! It's also a fun filled romp around the globe with rare footage of tribal ritual. So thrill to the bizzare practices, chill to the savagry. SEE the living dead in the House of Death in Singapore...SEE a real case of Elephantitus on the feet of a villager and men hoaxing their own drowning. Observe Aborigines create a Cult of the Cargo Planes (which come from Heaven)! And real cavemen also add to the anthropoogical value. But there is also much spectacular voyeuristic eye candy and gay festivities and celebrations. And in the long tradition of exploitation films, this was a great leap forward. But it has also been described as "Shockumentary". Mondo Cane refers to a "World gone to the Dogs"! But romantics take heart: the paradox is that although it's a satirical film, the soundtrack is the music/lyrics of a great love song "More" which was recorded by several vocalists such as Della Reese and was nominated for an Oscar. With two years in the making, one is reminded of the struggle in the making of Apocalypse Now! And the tradition has continued with many spin-offs, even the Peckinpah's, the Tarantino's, and grind house kung fu and women's prison movies. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021

This movie is a masterpiece, a fine crafted film with a beautiful score and a great sense of direction. This movie has some scenes in which some viewers may find disturbing so be warned if you are squeamish. The movie does not focus on anything particular other than the different values and ways of many different societies. It plays out similar to a documentary showing how in different cultures how things work. It was made to push people out of their comfort zone and show them things they had never seen, nowadays you can find anything online. So at the time this was pretty new. This is a rather old film so somethings might not be said now, in particular the part about the "savages" or "Neanderthals" . Regardless of subject matter, I agree that this is a great movie

1.0 out of 5 stars MEANINGLESS SHOCK AND GORE, BADLY DIRECTED
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2007
Verified Purchase
I had been curious about this movie for years, so I finally decided to buy a cheap edition. Let me just say at the outset, I was so disgusted physically at certain points that I did almost stop watching. But, I persisted, hoping to find some redeeming qualities in the film. Sadly, there were none to be found. It is pure exploitation of violence and mildly prurient material against a backdrop of badly patched together scenes and no overarching theme.
It jumps from subject to subject, and many of the scenes would be laughable if they weren't so maddeningly inferior. The only thing I've seen that gave me a similar feeling to this is clips from the show Bumfights. Being a horror movie fan I don't often sit in judgment on things like this, but in this case I'll make an exception. This will make you ashamed to be human.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece

Essential viewing. An enthralling (and strangely entertaining) anthropological "study" of cultures both primitive and modern. The outdated narration and music are rather camp given its release in 1962. However, the narration remains intelligent, true, and unbiased. But it's not for the squeamish. It's remarkable how brutality and cruelty and a need for meaning have persisted throughout all cultures. Even our contemporary ones. It reminds me of the great Bukowski's words (paraphrasing): "Wherever the crowd goes, move in the opposite direction. They're always wrong."

3.0 out of 5 stars Mondo Cane remembered

MONDO CANE

I've recently been on a quest (thanks to Amazon) to relive some of the influential films of my childhood, among them: "The Red Balloon" Red Balloon (Ballon Rouge, Le) [Import, All-regions] (Dvd - 1956) , "Nanook of the North" Nanook of the North (Criterion Collection Spine #33) , and "Mondo Cane" Mondo Cane .
These were films (with the exception of Mondo Cane) that were shown on old 16mm projectors in the auditorium of my elementary school during rainy days when we couldn't be out on the playground.
I fondly remembered them (or at least various segments) though I hadn't seen them for decades.

"Mondo Cane" is a 1962 Italian production directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti, Paolo Cavara and Franco Prosperi, and produced by Mario Massei.
It is the first in a series of early reality `Shock' and `Exploitation' films composed of vignettes shot from around the world and edited in a fashion to contrast the social differences and similarities of the various cultures.

"Mondo Cane" was released theatrically in the states in the early 1960's.
This was a shocker of a film for its day, and I saw it from the backseat of my parent's car at a drive-in. It wasn't the main feature, as in those days double and sometimes triple feature movies were common and would be presented along with accompanying cartoons and newsreels. I'm sure "Mondo" was a hanger on film attached to one which was more popularly accepted, but I can't remember that other film, whereas I do remember "Mondo Cane."

Perhaps the threat of immanent demise from nuclear war helped solidify some of those memories for me, as it was the turbulent early 60's and in October 1963 we had a stand-off with the Soviet Union over missiles in Cuba, a very, very close call that few of us fully understood at the time.

But I remember a scene in "Mondo" where islanders had returned to the island of Bikini which we'd used as an H-Bomb test site years earlier. The radiation had altered the fauna to the extent that they were knocking fish out of trees, and digging winged birds up from beneath the ground. These were adaptations that allowed some of these animals to survive, but the thought that "we" (mankind) did this and how strange and unnatural was the behavior, stood with me to this day.

I remembered seeing the difference between the average `meat and potatoes' American diet, where we considered an expensive restaurant meal of eating insects a luxury, contrasted with what many in the impoverished third world countries ate day to day (insects as a primary source of protein) and having a steak would be the epitome of a Thanksgiving meal.

I am a dog lover, always have been, and I was shocked that people in Asia could select their "puppy" from an open air market and have it butchered and cooked fresh for them (along with cats, snakes, other reptiles, and a host of living things).

There was a very brutal scene of indigenous people in New Guinea bashing pigs for a 3 day feast that occurs once in 5 years; and scenes of ceremonial beheading of bulls in what was then Burma, to show the warrior prowess of the native guard while prim British officers applauded.

There was a scene of a Buddhist monk's self immolation in demonstration against the repressive brutality of the American sponsored Diem regime in South Vietnam.
I understood so little about that then, now with older eyes, the imminent danger of our involvement then must have been at least as apparent as what we are experiencing currently.

There were some other scenes, considered very risqué at the time that are laughably common now, which served to titillate a preadolescent boy then.

Then there was the hauntingly beautiful Academy Award nominated theme of "More" that stood in stark contrast to this strange film.

How many of us can see something once and have it stick with them for over 40 years?
This film definitely had an impact on my outlook on life at the time that likely helped to shape me and define me now.

When I finally saw the movie again, I anxiously awaited the scenes which I had remembered, while others also came back to mind.
They were all there. But most of the shock and awe was no longer present, dulled by more brutal and shocking scenes of life since.
I personally found that the nostalgia of this film would have been better left to my memory.
I'll likely not view it again, unless I want to show it to my grandchildren at an appropriate time if they are interested in what we considered shocking in the early 1960's.

One thing remains unchanged. "Mondo Cane" means "Dog's World." I interpret that to mean that it's an all too frequently ruthless Dog-eat-Dog world. Though canines seldom actually cannibalize each other, even in the wild, the sentiment is just as apropos for human society in our time today, as it was when this film was first produced, and that is the sad reality that this movie brings to heart for me. That we have changed so little for the better and so much more for the worse in the last 40 plus years.

I gave this film a 3 because of its very special and limited appeal.
For first time viewers today, accustomed to viewing far more brutal and shocking things on a day to day basis, this film will likely offer nothing. For older viewers such as myself, that want to see this film again for nostalgic reasons, it is a mixed bag, depending on how life's experiences have shaped us.

Ein Klassiker, der bis heute seine Gültigkeit nicht verloren hat. Habe den Film vor vielen Jahren, als Kind, mit meinem Vater gesehen, und bestimmte Bilder und Informationen haben mich bis heute beschäftigt- jetzt konnte ich endlich seiner habhaft werden. Er beeindruckt auch heute noch alle, die ihn sehen, zumal die Diskrepanz zwischen der "ersten" und der "dritten" Welt, zwischen Überfluß und (echtem) Existenzminimum weder durch den Sozialismus, noch durch den Fortschritt der Technik, noch durch den Kapitalismus beseitigt worden ist.
