Mondo Cane
Documentary's dark underbelly
In the Mondo Cane films, the world is truly going to the dogs. One day, Fido is sharing Master’s own plate, the next he’s the main feast. Oh, yes, “you’ll shudder and gasp in amazement.” The filmmakers soberly take the viewer on a perverse journey to the far reaches of the globe, but this is no National Geographic special. Far from it!
