Candide is a nice, innocent young man who is raised in a castle of a noble
family in Westphalia during the medieval age. Dr. Pangloss, a teacher of
metaphysics and philosophy educates him and tells that he lives in the best
of all possible worlds and that any apparent absurdity, misery and conflict
are actually all parts of a greater good that mortals cannot perceive. The
happy life of Candido changes drastically when he falls in love with the
Baron's daughter Cunegonda and is caught with her. Candide is banned from
the castle and starts traveling into a timeless world, searching for his
lost love.
Candide attempts to stay optimistic as unbelievable horrors unfold in a
world full of brutality, war, slavery and sickness...
The makers of this movie base the film on a cynical satire `Candide' from the French writer Voltaire. Directors Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi are known for their documentaries in which they have already presented the horrors of the world: MONDO CANE (part 1 and 2), AFRICA ADDIO and the very revolting ADDIO ZIO TOM. In comparison with other shockumentaries, all these movies are very well directed, have a racy comment and contain unforgettable images. "Mondo Candido" is a masterpiece. It's sensational, sometimes shocking but you will see a series of unforgettable images, very beautifully filmed, even though they are cruel, nihilistic and pessimistic
