If you like this film, let us know!
Add to a movie listDolce e selvaggio (1983) (English: Sweet and Savage) is a Mondo film directed by Antonio Climati and Mario Morra. The title "Sweet and Savage" refers to the juxtaposition of pleasant ("sweet") and violent ("savage") imagery within the film. It is narrated by the producer and long-time Mondo film director Franco Prosperi.
The film is the third and final entry in Climati and Morra's Savage Trilogy and is also the last collaborative feature between the two directors. Footage in the film was supplemented by scenes that originally appeared in their previous two films, Ultime grida dalla savana and Savana violenta. Morra went on to direct one final Mondo film, The Savage Zone, while Climati later made the cannibal film Natura contro in 1988.
The film has gained notoriety for the inclusion of several scenes of human death. One of the scenes, in which a man is tied to two trucks that tear off his arm, is staged. The other scenes, which are genuine, include a corpse in Tibet that is hacked apart by monks and fed to vultures and the accidental deaths of tightrope walker Karl Wallenda and stuntman A.

Director Andrew J. Kuehn has excerpted brief segments of terror and suspense in a wide variety of suspenseful (including humorously so, ex. Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, Saturday the 14th) films and strung them together with added commentary, as well as some enacted narrative, to create a compilation of fright-inducing effects. Halloween actor Donald Pleasence and Dressed to Kill star Nancy Allen provide the commentary on topics such as "sex and terror" (Dressed to Kill, Klute, Ms. 45, The Seduction, When a Stranger Calls), loathsome villains (Dracula, Frankenstein, Friday the 13 1 and/or 2, Halloween I and II, Marathon Man, Nighthawks, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Touch of Evil, Vice Squad, Wait Until Dark, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?), "natural terror" (Alligator, The Birds, Frogs, Jaws 1 and 2, Nightwing) and the occult (An American Werewolf in London, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, The Omen, Carrie, The Shining). In one segment of the anthology, legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock presents his concepts of how to create suspense in a clip from Alfred Hitchcock: Men Who Made The Movies.

"Promenade sous les feuillages de l'érable" (紅葉狩, Momijigari) est un film japonais tourné en 1899 par Shibata Tsunekichi et sorti en 1903. Le guerrier Taira no Koremochi se rend à Togakushi-yama, montagne située dans la province de Shinano pour admirer le changement de couleur des feuilles en automne, en particulier celles de l'érable japonais. En réalité, il est venu chercher et tuer un démon qui tourmente Hachiman, la divinité de la montagne. Il rencontre une princesse nommée Sarashinahime et boit un peu du saké qu'elle lui offre... Il s'agit de l'enregistrement des acteurs kabuki Onoe Kikugorō V et Ichikawa Danjūrō IX dans une scène de la pièce Momijigari. Danjūrō était à l'origine opposé à l'idée d'apparaître sur film mais fut finalement convaincu que ce faisant il ferait un don à la postérité. Sauf découverte d'un autre film, Momijigari est le plus ancien film japonais dont il existe encore une copie.
