Flame and the Fire

The incredible but true story of the last savages!

0.0(0)19661h 20m1

Bounding from one continent to another, from desert to jungle, this early mondo documentary examines the habits and customs of people whose lives are unaffected by the modern world. In New Guinea, director Pierre-Dominique Gaisseau's crew spends time with jungle villagers who honor the deceased by preserving their corpses, and in Africa they film the resourceful people of the Kalahari. Other subjects include a Brazilian community whose male members wear lip-stretching jewelry.

    Once again, the producers of this mondo documentary film have captured some amazing footage of some "lost civilizations" but the narration is wrongheaded, even of the time. The filmmakers knew this and probably were just cashing in on the earlier popularity of _Mondo Cane_.
