When a film opens with a turd's eye view of a man rising from the crapper, you know you're in for a really repugnant time, and sure enough, French short Mongolitos spends its entire 7 minutes runtime packing in as much scatological perversion as it possibly can: a junkie enters the cubicle, shoots up with stinky brown water from the toilet bowl, and pukes up a massive log; a tranny gets taken face down in the bowl by a black dude; then a nun joins in the fun, everyone takes out crackers, and begin to scoop poop from the unflushed john for a tasty snack.

Cheap and amateurish, Mongolitos is clearly the result of a few insane guys with a video camera attempting to make the most revolting film they can just for a laugh (probably after a drunken conversation down the pub); the finished product is blessed with a warped sense of humour that makes matters slightly less offensive than they sound (although I still wouldn't suggest watching this one with the in-laws!), but even with a touch of levity, it didn't do much for me—I guess bizarre, turd-based French cinema just isn't my thing (thank heavens!).

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
