Review of Mondo Cane (1962) by Rod A — 11 Oct 2008
Vivid exploitation. The camera goes to "dangerous" and "brutal" locations with the intention of stunning the viewer into appreciating the comfortable life. I was reminded of a series like Faces of Death more than anything else.
The narration attempts a philosophical exploration of human fears and foibles but, in the end, the director is just out to shock. That can't sustain for very long.
