This concise documentary, available only in Blue Underground’s Mondo Cane Collection box set, offers unique insight into an area of cinema with which few historians would ever bother. It does so by telling the story of Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi, a pair of filmmakers whose desire to create an “anti-documentary” that explored hidden truths led to the creation of the exploitation film world’s most notorious bastard child — the “mondo” film. Any good documentary lives or dies by its subject matter, and director David Gregory hits pay dirt with his subjects here — Jacopetti and Prosperi are intelligent, feisty, and compelling storytellers. Their claims of intellectual and moral purity don’t always stick, especially when juxtaposed with the often salacious imagery of their films, but they are never at a loss for eye-opening tales about their work. Gregory adds further interesting shadings to the story by allowing the two to periodically contradict each other’s version of the facts and by also incorporating input from film journalists like David Kerekes to put it all in perspective. To sum up, The Godfathers of Mondo is a provocative, informative glimpse into outsider filmmaking at its most extreme and well worth a look for cinematic curiosity seekers.

The post David Gregory – The Godfathers of Mondo (2003) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis
Behind the scenes chronicle of how clash of vision, bad creative decisions, lack of interest and really bad weather plagued the disastrous production of the infamous 1996 remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau.

Quote:
Riding high on the wave of unforeseen success created by his arty 1990 dystopian flick HARDWARE, Richard Stanley turned next to a passion project adaptation of H.G. Wells’ THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU—which, after years of expending chutzpah and actualizing willpower, the South Africa-born writer-director somehow manages to get his provocative, imaginative take on the story green-lit by New Line with Marlon Brando installed in the lead role…

…only to learn the studio had decided Roman Polanski should direct.

In response, Stanley did two things, one completely normal—demanding, as screenwriter and project originator, a tête-à-tête with Brando—the other deliciously eccentric:
