I suppose to use a more modern phrase would be to call this a rip-off of Mondo Cane. But I recall the title in the US as just plain "Ecce", subtitled "Behold". I can't remember all the scenes, but I think they may have duplicated some from Mondo Cane. All in all, they were both pretty interesting to a 14-16 year old. I didn't get to see Mondo Cane until the latter half of 1963 here in the US. I had no trouble getting into either flick, probably because the rating system was different back then, and I never kept track of those changes. I am sure there was some kind of nudity in both. If anyone out there can shed further light on Ecce, I would appreciate your comments. The guys I saw it with smoked so much reefer since then, they can't remember much at all.

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.
