I recently watched the Italian film Women of the World (1963) on the Full Moon app on Prime. This light-hearted documentary-style film attempts to depict women around the world performing everyday tasks "accustomed to their culture" while also touching on themes of sexual and lifestyle freedoms supposedly hidden within these women's souls.
The film is co-directed by Paolo Cavara, Gualtiero Jacopetti, and Franco Prosperi, who also collaborated on A Dog's Life.
By the end of this film, I was left wondering what I had just watched. The narration is cheesy, and the content feels scattered. The depiction of a "siren" features one of the worst costumes I've ever seen. At times, it tries to be humorous, but the jokes fall flat. I couldn't quite understand why the runtime needed to be as long as it was.
In conclusion, Women of the World is one of the worst mockumentaries I've seen. I'd score it 1/10 and recommend skipping it.
