Product Description

During the golden age of the grindhouse, Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi were always gloriously pushing the envelope of exploitation, with classics like MONDO CANE and FAREWELL UNCLE TOM. Well, this is their most outlandish cinematic confection -- a sexual-psychedelic comic-variation on Voltaire's CANDIDE, that transcends time and logic. Basic coherency might be at a minimum, but it's never boring! Set in some nebulous medieval time, Christopher Brown stars as Candido, a free spirit who lives in a Baron's fabulous castle. Taught that this is "the best of all possible worlds," Candido's gleeful routine is shattered when the Baron spots him face down in his chaste daughter Cunegonda's crotch and banishes the lad from his castle. Suddenly, poor Candido is thrust into a cruel (and often anachronistic) land. He's "recruited" into an army that trains its soldiers to use their bare heads as battering rams, only to be slaughtered by modern troops with machine guns and flame throwers. He's later captured by the Inquisition, which turns into a tapestry of masked muscle-bound torturers, naked women led into a giant meat grinder, electric guitars, and a black dude being lynched by the KKK...Audio - Italian and German Audio Options Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono) - Anamorphic Widescreen - Optional English and German Subtitles - 2 Disc Limited Edition - Audio Commentary with Christian Kebler and Marcus Stiglegger Documentary "Around the World in 15 Years" Trailer Featurette "A Farewell to Mondo" Featurette "Making up Voltaire

Like a Jodorowsky movie laced with Monty python overtones, and a biting satirical social commentary on world events at the time of its making, add to this a strange take on American history, and elements of philosophical fantasy, plus 60's pop and counter culture influences, and you have a surreal, fantastic, overlooked masterpiece of comedy and satire. This film is jam packed with visual flair, and colourful exuberance. This wonderful movie is a little gem with grand ideas to love and cherish.
