The 1973 Italian exploitation doc that out-shocked its own psychiatrist host.
Very rare mondo-style film in which a psychiatrist explains to his students several stories of sexual deviants. Each vignette begins with the doctor citing a fact-based newspaper/magazine story of abhorrent sexual behavior.
Production
Fake newspaper clippings that look like ransom notes.
Direction
Polselli's gleeful blur of documentary pretense and pure exploitation.
Acting
Ravaioli's dead-serious psychiatrist delivery against absolute chaos.
Director
Renato Polselli
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Polselli made this between his more famous gialli, using the mondo format to bypass Italian censorship by claiming educational intent.
The 'newspaper sources' were largely invented—this invented a genre of fake-documentary outrage that thrives on social media today.
