The first impression I have watching "Mondo Cane" for the first time in 2006 is of a sensationalist, dated, bizarre and scatological drive-in movie of the 60's. But I recall that when I was a kid, this movie was very commented in Brazil. Inclusive, our expression "mundo-cão" originated from the title of this movie. A great part of this film is a cheap exploitation of worldwide exotic costumes, most of them weird and shocking for Western civilizations, like a fake documentary with some funny observations spoken by the narrator as if they were true. But there is a few images that recalls National Geographic films, like the turtles that are misguided to the sea and die in hot sand. The Italian music score "Ti Guardero' nel Cuore" was a hit in the 60's in Brazil and it is still very beautiful. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "Mundo-Cão" ("Dog World")
