Using outtakes from MONDO CANE as their foundation, Directors Gualtiero
Jacopetti, Paolo Cavara and Franco Prosperi created this leering yet lyrical
study of women's roles in the international culture of the bizarre. Here is the
female of the species as mothers, murderers, warriors and whores, respected as
high-powered executives and objectified as bodacious bombshells, grasping for
eternal beauty and even engaging in "unnatural friendships." From love in the
streets of Paris to death on the African plain, the MONDO masters turn their
unflinching eye on all the things never before known - and never before shown -
about WOMEN OF THE WORLD. WOMEN OF THE WORLD features sly English
narration by two-time Academy Award® winning actor Peter Ustinov (TOPKAPI,
SPARTACUS) as well as a remarkable score by Oscar®-nominated MONDO CANE
composers Nino Oliviero and Riz Ortolani. Unseen for decades, this still-daring
documentary has been fully restored from the original vault negative and is
presented here completely uncut and uncensored.
