モンドカーネ
あらすじ
近未来のディストピア、かつて繁栄した南イタリアの都市タラントは、無法地帯へと変貌を遂げた。巨大で侵入不可能な有刺鉄線の境界線が都市を包囲し、外界から遮断された事実上の島と化している。当局は秩序回復の望みを捨て、警察は介入する力を持たない。 その結果、貧困層や脆弱な人々は、生き残るための必死の闘いを強いられている。彼らは社会の片隅で、かろうじてわずかな生計を立て、生き残るために闇市場や違法行為に頼らざるを得ない。この空白地帯で力をつけたギャングたちは、弱者を食い物にし、彼らの絶望と恐怖を利用している。 このような混乱の中、モンドカーネは、贖罪と希望を求める必死の闘いの焦点となる。この骨太なドラマは、タラントの危険な状況を乗り越えざるを得ない人々の生活を掘り下げ、貧困、暴力、搾取という過酷な現実に向き合う姿を描いている。

Even now, it doesn't come across as cruelly bizarre.

A captivating film, not the least bit wicked or taboo. The cinematography is powerful, with vibrant and bright colors, and the music is lyrical and lively. Perhaps having just emerged from World War II, people have become accustomed to cruelty and death, resulting in an indescribable sense of poetry and beauty. Some scenes feel staged, but whether in the civilized or primitive worlds of subtropical and tropical regions, humans and animals alike experience birth, aging, sickness, and death. They indulge in drunkenness, debauchery, killing, and consuming other animals, living naturally and adhering to peculiar customs and traditions.

A shocking and disturbing film. Watching this 138-minute director's cut, the portrayal of Black people is deeply troubling, depicting them as foolish, cruel, and violent murderers who destroy the civilization left behind by white people. The tragic fate of the innocent wildlife, slaughtered so brutally, is heartbreaking. It highlights the film's depiction of humans as the most brutal animal in Africa. The photographer's skill is undeniable, capturing battle and slaughter scenes up close and personal, and it's also remarkable that they survived the experience. It's astonishing that this film took three years to make.

To debate the authenticity of documentaries is utterly foolish, as they are merely another form of "forged reality." This film's sharp and extreme exposure of the ignorance, hypocrisy, violence, and shamelessness inherent in all human "culture" and "civilization" throughout history solidifies it as an exceptional masterpiece in cinematic history.

Set in a dystopian near future, Mondocane paints a stark picture of a divided society, where the city of Taranto is torn apart by barbed wire. The film masterfully explores the struggle for survival among the marginalized, as they face off against ruthless gangs in a desperate bid for power. With its gritty realism and unflinching portrayal of societal decay, Mondocane serves as a biting commentary on class inequality and the dangers of unchecked violence.
