Mondo Hollywoodland

The (admittedly chaotic and incoherent) trailer for this movie piqued my interest when I saw it by chance on Youtube. I have trouble describing this movie adequately; it's very unique, there seems to be an incredible amount of details and things going on, but most importantly it doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. It's trippy and fun, the soundtrack is great (both the music created for this movie as well as other songs) and the people behind the movie are surprisingly approachable and helpful for random viewer questions.

It's a great movie to re-watch as there's so much going on, no chance you catch everything on the first go.

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!

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.

There is not one redeeming good quality in this waste of time. The plot is genuinely idiotic. There is no acting.

The directing is non-exsistent.

I'm honestly not sure how I stuck it out until the end of this mess. It's a train wreck.

Don't get me wrong, I like a good psychotronic event. This isnt one of them. It's horrible with a captial H.

Nothing meakes sense, you learn nothing and the premise -- looking for the meaning of the word Mondo, is just plain stupid.

Mark my words, don't waste your time on this boring, poorly made amateurish video. You'll live a better life if you skip it lickity split.

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!
