Mondo Cane

Directed by Paolo Cavara

This is the film that started the mondo craze. Directors Jacopetti, Prosperi and Cavara scoured the globe for oddities and curios to titillate Western audiences. Mondo Cane is a kaleidoscopic tour of perverse rituals and pseudo-anthropological tidbits accompanied by sardonic narration and an award-winning score by Riz Ortolani. Mondo Cane introduced a new style of sensationalist cine-journalism that resonates in twenty-first century culture. Much copied and often parodied, this is a rare opportunity to see a genuine cult classic.
