ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
Beginning where the Academy Award winning shockumentary "Mondo Cane" left off, this sequel takes us to the Pacific Islands, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the United States, chronicling a spectrum of human sexual, cultural and religious behaviors and customs that are fascinating, shocking, heart-breaking, grotesque and bizarre, and gives us a new awareness of the human condition.
Examine the sexual ritual of British transvestites and American prostitutes; the erotic religious hysteria of Chilean penitents; visit African slave markets as young women are displayed and sold. Explore chilling antiquated religious practices and animistic beliefs: the Catholic blood rites in Portugal and Italy, Indian body piercing and fire-walking, African animal sacrifices, a monk's self immolation and death by fire.
Dare to watch "Mondo Cane 2", a further testament against the deceptiveness of a rose-colored world. It's all the more powerful because IT'S ALL REAL. |
