BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
movieman_kev This 89 minute subtitled documentary on the Mondo films of Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco E. Prosperi can be viewed in Blue Underground superb Mondo Cane Collection. It features the two directors talking about their films, the controversies said films made, the favorite films of both, as well as other things. Self congratulatory at times, insightful at other, but always intriguing and endlessly watchable to anyone even remotely interested in the TRUE Mondo films (that is to say not the false crappy Mondo pretenders to the throne like "Faces of Death", "Asia Extreme", "Mondo Topless", etcetera) This is very compelling stuff and I, not only recommend it, but the entire DVD set.My Grade: B+
