These days, all pretty standard fare for an average evening's TV viewing. In 1962, however, the only way to witness global scenes of everyday madness - other than creating them yourself - was at a cinema showing Mondo Cane (which roughly translates as A Dog's Life). Juxtaposing footage of a Californian pet cemetery with a Taiwanese dog restaurant and blood-drenched Christian penitents with paint-covered Action Art models, it's a wryly humorous, kaleidoscopic paean to human folly, madness and cruelty. Its creators, journalist Gualtiero Jacopetti and wildlife filmmaker Franco Prosperi, scoured the world capturing scenes they hoped would shock cinemagoers out of their bourgeois complacency, while making them a pot of money.
