Mondo Freudo
1966 : 1 hour 15 minutes
This video is only available with Night Flight+.
Director: Lee Frost
synopsis
In 1966, the notorious producer/director/distributor team of Lee Frost and Bob Cresse combined the extremes of the Mondo genre with their own depraved aesthetic to create a shockumentary that put their company Olympic International on the map, changing the face of exploitation cinema forever. Cresse himself narrates MONDO FREUDO, “a world of sex and the strange & unusual laws that govern it” featuring Hollywood strippers, Tijuana hookers, London lesbians, Times Square Satanists and topless Watusi clubs.
