About Mondo candido
Voltaire, a 16th century author was furious that learned members of a "civilized" society could claim that the apparent senseless violence and mayhem wrought by disasters, war, disease, man's cruelty, etc. was actually only a part of some 'greater good'. After all, God (being perfect) could not 'logically' have created anything but the 'best of all possible' universes.
Directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti, Franco Prosperi, Mondo candido leans on a strong ensemble — Christopher Brown, Michele Miller, Jacques Herlin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1975.
