Mandinga

An Old South plantation owner lusts after his female slaves.

Directed by Mario Pinzauti, who made a few things, but nothing of note.

Clearly a take on the classic film "Mandingo" about a very sexual slave. This film, too, is taking place in the days of horse and buggy. And the word "master" is pronounced as "masser" -- why any black man would agree to appear in this film is beyond me (though I guess it has its moments).

There is the theme that white men having sex with black women is okay, because they are property, but white women should not lower themselves to black men. It is an interesting race/sex dynamic, if you think about it. And, of course, it gets rejected. (Again, despite the film's name, there is just as much a "mandingo" as a "mandinga", if not more so.)

1st watched 3/17/2002 - 2 out of 10(Dir-Mario Pinzauti): Silly, sex-filled master & slave having too many intimate relations movie. This movie seemed to care more about the sex than the story and kind of worked the story around the sex. Laughable dubbing of the original Italian language in the version I watched with ridiculous ending where the attempt is made to give an anti-slave statement(or should I say one line). What a waste of time for everyone who watches this trash.

Incredibly hilarious mid-70's Italian Rootsploitation with lots of non-consensual S&M, lesbian sex, gratuitous racial cruelty etc...Few redeeming cinematic qualities, except for the fairly cool theme music with dubby "African" drums and flute. Brilliant sample dialog:

White Slave Owner (to White Plantation Manager): "You're so dumb, I'll bet you forgot to interrogate that n****r midwife!"

White Plantation Manager: "Not only did I interrogate her, I did it so well she died before I could get any answers from her!"

All the black actors have 70's afros, and say "yes, massa" in a high-pitched voice. The female lead has sex with everybody on the plantation. 10 Stars for fans of tasteless sleaze.

Trading on the success of the 1975 hit, this film is a cheaply made story of a plantation where Massa gets down with the slave women, and the Missus gets down with the big black stud, and with massa'a son also. In fact, there is so much getting down going on, that I really don't know why anyone bothered to get dressed.

So, if you want to see white women rolling their naked bodies all over tied up slaves, or you just like a movie with tits on display every five minutes, then this one is for you.

There is a funny/sad story in here, but it only comes at the very end so as to not interfere with all the hot sweaty sex going on on the plantation.

First viewed this film on 11/03/2002, and found the film humourous and pathetic, it didn't really deal with the real history of slavery it was mostly preoccupied with showing woman's breasts, a lot of frontal nudity, and sex, sex, sex, this was like a low budget, bad acting, very bad acting, badly dubbed cheap pornographic flick. Where did this guy go to film school??. A very bad imitation of the film 'Mandingo' starring American actor Perry King, and James Mason.
