Leave your thoughts about The Godfathers of Mondo.
| User ReviewWilliam Bfascinating documentary - Jacopetti, Prosperi, plus soundtrack composer Ortolani, are indeed as inspiring human beings as are their films; meanwhile the 'cult movie experts' also featured to pass comment are worse than expendable |
| User ReviewJohn PThe movies of Gualtiero Jacopetti & Franco Prosperi are often overlooked, but for all you who like to watch COPS, Real TV, and even America's Funniest Home Videos (well, you used to watch them, so shut up), those wouldn't exist without the likes of Mondo Cane and Africa Addio. Anyway, it's interesting watching these two men discuss what went on during each of the 5 films, and ultimately, what led to their separation. The last two films, Africa Addio, and Addio Zio Tom are extremely misunderstood, and the last 30 minutes are so are basically the two defending their most controversial works. It helps understand them better, surely. And it's also fun if you liked watching the movies. Otherwise.... I guess.. This won't change your mind? |
| User ReviewChristopher SAn important and wholly candid documentary discussing the careers of the "Godfathers of Mondo," Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi. Much of the duration allows the two directors (no longer on speaking terms) to give their personal insight into each collaboration and allow some explanation of their most controverial works, namely Addio Zio Tom and Addio Africa. I could've done without some of the random talking heads who pop in to add evaluating comments, but overall this is the film one should start with before even venturing into the mondo genre. |
| User ReviewSteve SA hell of a candid and revealing look into the makings of the Gacopetti/Prosperi films of the 70s, which are already a few of the most interesting films of the era. Breaks down some of the making-of tactics, ideas behind the whole thing, and the struggles that had to be endured for their masterpieces to stay alive. Insights from the men themselves and some other comments from those involved give a great look back at these groundbreaking films. |
| User ReviewGreg SThe story of "shockumentarians" Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi, who scandalized the world with their bloody, sexy documentaries MONDO CANE and AFRICA ADDIO. Basically a DVD extra, but informative for fans. |
| User ReviewMike BAn informative look at the beginning of the Mondo craze. Apparently, the two men who started the trend weren't as interested in exploitation as those who followed. |
