MONDO FREUDO

As with most mondo movies, Mondo Freudo isn’t rich with narrative, instead it sets the mood with an introduction about the type of camera being used, then launches into a series of loosely connected vignettes. This one tends to lean on the proclivities of the younger generation of the time, from cruising up and down the block to the racier stuff, like erotic art and nude dancers. What starts as a creepy spy session on a couple getting frisky on the beach leads to more sensual pursuits and even claims of sex slaves, so Mondo Freudo covers a wide base of mild sexual thrills. And of course, as our sheltered minds can’t process these kind of hidden wonders, we have a trusty mondo style narrator to keep us informed.
