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.

I have watched parts of the movie by fast-forwarding through boring parts or parts hard to watch. So I did not think it was that lurid and was a bit overhyped. The question I have most for any movie of anyone tormenting themselves is doesn't it hurt? Maybe they like feeling pain but how does that happen.?Oh, some parts are silly more than shocking.

(OK) As influent as execrable. Episodic and ambitious, good doccumentary camaerawork, good eye for stories and locations, but so prejudiced and cinic and distorsive, that today would be impossible to finf such a piece...

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
