Mondo New York

Made in the Mondo Cane Style, practically a bunch of performers and artist shown in succession with little to no connective from each other. Raging from a Racist Street Comedian, a Poet Reading "Act", A Drag Queen(?) and all.

I personally do not care about it AND it just made me think that is this scene that annoying and pretentious? This are just not well modulated performances. It just goes on in some part AND there are even sections that aged with time (especially the street act).

Its collation seems like it feels like its tracking controversy but its just a bunch of artist that feels like their act could have been better. Even the shock sex section feels drummed down for censors. Its just a mess and a half.

Not my cup of tea.

Brilliant documentary about the performance art scene in NYC.

Joe Coleman's geek show might put a lot of people off though.

The best part of this was seeing Charlie Barnett (D.C. Cab) and Rick Avilies (Ghost, Carlito's Way) do their great stand up in the park.

Both men had me rolling on the floor.

We follow a college age woman as she walks through the lower east side visiting performances and museums.

We see a voodoo ritual as well.

This should be kept in circulation for having the best footage of the late John Sex.

If you like weirdness, and aren't hypersensitive, check this one out.

Purports to expose the nuttiness of NYC during the 80's but all it exposes is how boring and dumb things were.

The singers and other artists are horrible.

The remainder is worse.

Nothing to recommend here. It truly is a horrible movie that is a disgrace to the "Mondo" genre.

If you get a chance to rent this and are into weird B movies, rent it. Some real weird things including a great song "A fish out of water Mondo New York," A comic in Central Park, a sex dungeon where 2 women get it on with a handicap man. A real tasteless movie.

This shockumentary focuses on the seamier side of NYC. It features cockfights, junkies, street hookers, S&M clubs, unhinged performance artists, drag acts, street comics, a voodoo ceremony and some ropey music acts. It features some controversial stuff for sure, with some animal violence and hard drug taking, while some of the people featured also appear to be mentally ill. Its not always interesting but it is always strange.
