Sweet and Savage was the first ever English-language title devoted exclusively to the controversial and influential mondo documentary film cycle. This revised edition remains the first serious study of mondo as a global film phenomenon and includes a highly detailed examination of the key films of this cult genre. The author identifies the principle stylistic aspects of the mondo genre through a fascinating 'non-linear' approach that echoes the collage shock effects of the original films. Sweet and Savage also includes some unique material contributions: - 'godfather' of the mondo genre Gualtiero Jacopetti writing on his documentary style; - rare interviews with the makers of Jacopetti's films; - British author J.G. Ballard interviewed on the mondo film. - the first ever examination of the music of mondo films. - forward by Jeremy Dyson of The League of Gentlemen The book is lavishly illustrated with many rare photographs, stills, posters, record sleeves etc.
