Ballard on Mondo Cane

Author: Johnny Strike • May 27th, 2006 •

Category: Ballardosphere, film, non-fiction

The new book Sweet and Savage: The World Through the Shockumentary Film Lens, by Mark Goodall has just been published by Headpress in the UK. The only blurb comes from Ballard and Goodall conducts a short interview with him on the subject:

‘An Exhibition of Atrocities’

excerpt:

Goodall: Can you recall any critical or other ‘professional’ reactions to Jacopetti’s films when they were released?

Ballard: The critical/respectable reaction to the Jacopetti films was uniformly hostile and dismissive. As always, this confirmed their originality and importance.
