The "Mondo Genre" refers to a style of film that presents shocking, sensational, or taboo subjects, often in a documentary format. Originating in the 1960s with films like Mondo Cane, these movies explore topics such as death, exotic cultures, and human behavior, often blurring the lines between reality and exploitation. Mondo films typically feature graphic imagery and controversial themes, aiming to provoke strong reactions from viewers. They often include segments on unusual rituals, bizarre practices, and extreme lifestyles, appealing to audiences' curiosity about the macabre and the unusual in the world around them.
