So, 'Sexy proibito' is this intriguing little piece from '63 that dives into the underbelly of European nightlife, all presented in that classic mondo style. You know the vibe—gritty, raw, and unfiltered. The pacing feels almost hypnotic, reflecting the ebb and flow of nightlife itself, with a soundtrack that captures the dissonance between the allure and the absurdity of it all. There's definitely a sense of voyeurism at play, which is both thrilling and unsettling. What stands out here are the practical effects and real-life performances that give it an authenticity you don't see in many documentaries today. It's a snapshot of a time and place that feels both exotic and familiar, really drawing you in.
This film has had a few different formats released over the years, but finding a decent copy on VHS is getting trickier. The interest among collectors seems to be growing, especially for those who appreciate niche documentaries that explore the fringes of society. There's not a ton of literature on it, so it can feel like a hidden gem in a collection if you get your hands on a nice print.
