se non muori presto la tua cena diventa fredda

1962. è il maledetto e lontanissimo 1962 quando esce questo film.
Per metà degli italiani, immagino, le prime tette che si potevano erano quelle delle mogli la prima notte di nozze. La cosa più morta che vedevano in un film era un cattivo preso a cazzotti da l'ercole o il maciste di turno.
Ma qui è Mondo Cane. Che ci racconta un mondo infame. Violento, macabro e grottesco.

Nominally a documentary, this film combines a number of unrelated sequences (both real and staged) -- including a South Pacific "cargo cult", the ritual slaughter of a bull, tribal dances and rituals, and a visit to an ornate pet cemetery -- all focused on the lurid, sensational, and eccentric.
Release date : 30 March 1962

" What is it about? The film consists of a series of travelogue vignettes that provide glimpses into cultural practices around the world with the intention to shock or surprise Western film audiences. These scenes are presented with little continuity, as they are intended as a kaleidoscopic display of shocking content rather than presenting a structured argument. Mondo cane was an international box-office success and inspired the production of numerous, similar exploitation documentaries, man"

" This Italian shockumentary was castigated for exploiting footage of lurid cultural practices from around the world."

"29.6.11. MUBI Satunnaisia ja shokeeraavia pätkiä eri puolilta maailmaa yhdistelevä klassikkodokumentti on toteutettu erittäin oivaltavasti. Lähes jokaisesta elokuvassa esitellystä tilanteesta haiskahtaa väkevä lavastamisen maku ja avoimesti kohteilleen vittuileva, rasistinen (muttei toki koskaan suoraan, ei jei missään nimessä) ja yleensäkin röyhkeä kertojaääni pitävät hivenen mustaan huumoriin taipuvaisen katsojan virneen koholla. Lukuisat kohdat tuskin shokeeraavat nykykat"

"Ikävä mondo-dokumentti, jonka parissa tekee aina välistä mieli kääntää katse ruudusta. Alkuasukkaiden vetämä sikojen nuijinta tuntuu aluksi pahalta, mutta muuttuu ohjaajien siirtyessä esittelemään länsimaista lihatuotantoa hyvinkin inhimilliseksi. Ylidramatisoiva kertoja alkaa välistä vituttamaan ja ihmisen eläimiin kohdistamaa väkivaltaa kuvataan runsaasti. Hyvänä symbolina koko leffalle toimiikin loppupuolen härkätaistelut ja -juoksut, joissa "luomakunnan kruunu" esittä"

" What is it about? The original "shockumentary" consisting of a collection of mostly real archive footage displaying mankind at its most depraved and perverse, displaying bizarre rituals, cruel behavior, and animal violence. Why is it so controversial? Even though certain parts in the film are either staged or manipulated in order to enhance their effect, the intention here was to shock Western film audiences with scenes such as the ritual slaughter of a bull, tribal dances and other ri"

"20.2. Loistava mukadokumentti, joka harhailee aiheensa puolesta ihan minne sattuu. Tämänkin vuoksi tulee mieleen Arnold L. Millerin lontoobailausdokkarit, mutta tässä meno on ehkä astetta randomimpaa. Shokkiarvoja ei enää nykykatsojalle leffassa ole oikeastaan yhtään, mutta leffan katsoo erittäin mielellään, vaikka se onkin ehkä hitusen liian pitkä. "

Ma qui è Mondo Cane. Che ci racconta un mondo infame. Violento, macabro e grottesco.

La morte in tutte le sue sfaccettature. Il sacro, il profano. Le tradizioni e le innovazioni.

Jacopetti, che sa che siamo tutti dei maledetti voyeristi, mescola e colleziona numerosi riti legati alla morte e alla violenza.

Li recupera girando il mondo ma anche svoltando l'angolo dietro casa. Perchè se da un lato è descritta l'anomala dieta a base di insetti e rett” read more
