And now we bring you a first for Mondo Macabro, something we've  never done before.  Can your heart stand a sexploitation film about the  true-life story of a SNAKE DANCER from South Africa?Back in the bad old days of the 1970's, South Africa suffered under one of  the most repressive governments the world has known. Most forms of fun were  either frowned upon or banned outright. And the notion of a woman joyously  dancing naked was enough to cause a riot. Particularly if her partner was a  sensual, slithering snake!  SNAKE DANCER tells the true story of a woman  who dared to be different and, in doing so, showed a whole country that it  was possible to break the rules and still survive.But above all, what the film shows is the incredible dancing and sensual  live shows of the amazing Glenda Kemp, who stars as herself.  And make no  mistake; once you've seen her in action, you'll realize why her government  tried to ban her - and why a whole nation cheered her on!SNAKE DANCER features a great number of Glenda's sexy dance routines  including several with her large pet python. These are still strong enough  to raise an eyebrow or two, even in the liberal climate of today. But with  its gaudy trappings, kitsch and camp costumes and unfamiliar accents, the  film is never less than hugely enjoyable. All fans of 70's sexploition will  love this one, and you may even learn a thing or two from watching it!Mondo Macabro's DVD for SNAKE DANCER contains the following extra  features:An interview with SNAKE DANCER writer/director Dirk de Villiers, produced  by Mondo Macabro and exclusive to this release.An in-depth interview with well-known South African film critic Trevor  Steele Taylor who tells us about the history of film making in South Africa  from its beginnings up to the present day.
