A voyeuristic 1960s world tour of risqué rituals, strippers, and sexual curiosities.
MONDO FREUDO
The scenes in this film are real - too real for the immature!
A “hidden camera” takes the viewer on a worldwide tour of sexual practices and rituals, including Tijuana strippers, Asian sex shows, British prostitutes, New York devil worshipers and a Mexican slave market.
From the days when documentaries wore trench coats and carried binoculars.
If you like your documentaries with a wink and a nudge, Mondo Freudo is pure mondo mayhem: strippers in Tijuana, British prostitutes, and even a Mexican slave market, all stitched together by a knowing narrator and that ever-suspect 'hidden camera.' You’re not here for facts—you’re here for psychotronic spectacle with a side of body paint.
