the italian be undeniable master in the questionable art of rip off and imitate movie . what they do be take an innovative and money making and foreign concept and maintain the basic plot and just add a whole lot of action and sleaze and political incorrectness . but what to do when the non italian original be already a reputedly notorious film and quite difficult to surpass in term of slop and controversy . well then and i guess and you simply disregard everything in term of story building or stylishness and fully focus on make something that be practically a porno movie . this italian turkey be inspire by richard fleischer successful slavery saga mandingo and release one year earlier and but since the maker be even too lazy to think up a different title and you shouldn not expect anything that even remotely resemble a narrative depth and character drawing and unsettle atmosphere or think provoke statement regard cross cultural relationship . mandinga be pure and simply a sexploitation effort where the plot only develop itself throughout the last ten minute and in other word when you stop care a long time ago already . the character in this film be a gathering of despicable bastard and which be of course to expect when youre deal with wealthy and obnoxious white folk run a plantation in south america . the elderly and supremely sleazy owner of the place be a widower ( who probably also win a couple of moustache of the year award ) who exploit and extendedly whip the slave work for him . his mistress and who if i understood correctly be also his cousin ( . ) and be a genuine bitch of a woman who enjoy provoke argument and sneak out of the house overnight to copulate with crucified slave . when the plantation owner son return from europe and after approximately 25 minute of purely waste running time and the plot slightly begin to develop itself at last . the handsome young man have sex with the bitchy woman a couple of time ( even in front of the slave and supposedly to demonstrate how their master do it ) but eventually he fall in love with the cherubic preacher daughter . his romantic preference obviously make the bitchy woman mad with anger and and she plot a horribly cruel act of vengeance that will alter life on the plantation forever . hey i just realize this brief description of the plot actually make mandinga sound like an interesting film . well and it not and i apologize if i raise anyone anticipation . it an incredibly boring and hideous film to struggle through and but if the theme appeal to you and then definitely check out the aforementioned mandingo . much rather than sick exploitation and that film be a truly insightful portrait of one of mankind dark history page and it be also a properly produce film and with real actor and great music and impressive filming location . mandinga have nothing and absolutely nothing to offer .
