This, the first and best of the Italian "shockumentaries" focuses on the peculiarities of men around the world and began an entire genre of assaulting the senses with the bizarre and ironic. Not recommended for the squeamish or the easily offended. Academy Award Nominations: Best Song ("More"). Less

GOLDEN BOY chronicles the adventures of Kintaro, a young man who wishes to learn everything he can about life by travelling from place to place. Inevitably, Kintaro's adventures are spurred by a "golden girl," with whom he usually engages in some vigorous (and hilarious) flirtation, though he never sticks around long enough for a relationship. Filled with both slapstick and ribald humor, GOLDEN BOY is the rare excellent comedy series that is as affecting as it is funny. Contains the OAV episodes "Swimming in a Sea of Love," Balls to the Wall of Youth," and "Animation is Fun" (ep. 4-6). Less

Pros
There are some interesting scenes here and there, plus the theme is great.
Cons
Most of the movie drags on, and the the running time is too long.

No
The term Mondo Cane translates to A Dog's Life or Life of a Dog. I'm not sure how well that relates to the film "Mondo Cane," aside from an opening sequence of a dog being led on a chain down a row of cages containing barking angry dogs. Maybe the term "dog" roughly applies to mankind, seeing how...

Vivid color, mostly interesting anecdotes about the bizarre and strange.
Cons

Recommended it?
Yes
I've stated before that I'm no fan of Michael Moore. While I think he's a supremely crafted film maker, I think he's equally crafty, and manipulates the truth to illustrate his own viewpoints, whether or not he's justified in doing so. I suspect he may have learned much about his craft from...

Too short

Kitaro Oe may look like a typical Japanese college student, but looks can be deceiving. He dropped out of college but only *after* he completed all his required courses to graduate.
