Mondo Hollywoodland is a 2010 independent film directed by Janek Ambros. It pays homage to the cult classic documentary film Mondo Hollywood, which was released in 1967 and explored the counterculture lifestyle of Los Angeles.
In Mondo Hollywoodland, two characters, a groovy mushrooms dealer and a man from the 5th dimension, embark on a psychedelic journey through Hollywood in search of the meaning of "Mondo." Along the way, they encounter various eccentric characters, including a group of hippies, a conspiracy theorist, and a Hollywood producer. The film also features archival footage of Los Angeles in the 1960s and explores themes of spirituality, sexuality, and the search for meaning in life.
The film received mixed reviews upon its release, with some critics praising its psychedelic visuals and quirky characters, while others found it to be self-indulgent and lacking in substance. Nonetheless, it remains a cult favorite among fans of independent cinema and is seen as a loving tribute to the original Mondo Hollywood film.
