I wasn't really sure what the movie is about from the trailer (and maybe I still don't know exactly), but the film is psychedelic and goofy enough that it's worth watching for laughs and a good time!
A great, fast passed film that looks a Hollywood in a way you won't see in most films. The film is densely packed with symbolism and every frame has entertainment value. I definitely plan to re-watch it and find out what i missed the first time.
Watched Mondo Hollywoodland sitting in a cafe in Mumbai(india). It's quite a unique film, and even from this side of the world, I could feel the eccentric, unpredictable vibe of LA. It also resonated because parts of it reminded me of Mumbai, especially the strange, surreal energy around the mainstream film industry here. Hats off to Janek Ambros for making something so offbeat and immersive. Loved the soundtrack and the edit too. And to imagine that this was shot using an iphone and under 10,000 dollars, hats off. Experiments need to be like this - totally unique!
Was not really sure what to expect from this film, loved the trailer and the premise and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed. On the contrary, really well developed characters, great actors and hilarious events and circumstances. If you are into the genre you will definitely love it. Give it a try!!
I saw the film promoted on instagram and the trailer looked really wild and bizarre. Though the film meanders at times, it was actually really goofy and held up to the my expectations of it being off-beat and unique.
The film starts with the narrator who's essentially a character who goes on a mission to find Mondo, a phrase or state of mind it seems. He meets this drug dealer guy (but not tough, more like a hippie kind) and they split ways into three sections.
Each section has two characters that have their own little story and craziness ensues. My favorite scenes were with the antifa girl, who was really funny and brought a lot of life to the film and gave the film some political edge.
The ending brings it all together, which was satisfying because it did started to meander with the many different characters. Some of the movie does look and feel pretty low budget, but it sorta adds to the feeling of the film and it didn't bother me after a bit.
If you like off-beat, experimental films, you should check it out for sure.
