Product Description
Lady of the night comes from Tinto Brass' producer Giovanni Bertolucci (The Key, Miranda, Capriccio, Po Box Tinto Brass, Lola, Private) bearing his trademark combination of eroticism and explicitness that borders on hard core - it is now presented uncut for the first time, with three previously censored extra minutes. It is a typically Tintoesque story of a young woman's search for sexual fulfilment, starring Serena Grandi, the volumptuous star of Tinto Brass' 'Miranda', voted 'the sexiest woman in Italy'. Simona (Serena Grandi) is married to Marco who neglects her. Growing dissatisfied, she provokes her husband by readily accepting the many sexual advances of friends and strangers. Then, to satisfy her increasingly depraved and perverse desires, she seeks night-time partners leading to ever riskier and sometimes violent encounters. On one such night, Marco catches Simona in the act, and the couple separate. Marco is immediately consoled by his beautiful young neighbour but soon Simona and Marco find out that they cannot live without each other. Then one night Simona is attacked by a masked man. But is he a stranger... ? DVD EXTRAS: English Language, Widescreen, + Dirty Love 2, The Love Games - Intrigue Trailer

I was very pleased to see the somewhat obscure Italian eroflik 'Lady of the Night' finally released in a proper DVD format. Previously this movie only seemed available in DVD-R format editions that appeared to be copied from fuzzy VHS pan & scan releases. As noted this is a Region 2 PAL pressing from the UK - yet another 'good reason' to get a region-free DVD player! This version purports to be un-censored & un-cut - which is not all that big a deal as the sex elements are pretty soft-core to begin with - but the UK does have some pretty stringent censorship codes so this unexpurgated version may have reinstated some previously excised material. Regardless, the extent of the sexual action is basically limited to a fair amount of full female nudity and some simulated humping. The simple plot line follows the sexual mis-adventures of the heroine Angelina (played by the exceptionally curvaceous Serena Grandi) as she strays into infidelity from her 'perfect/boring' marriage. Angelina craves passion in her love making and she gets sorta turned on when she witnesses a feuding couple 'make up' after the man smacks his woman around a bit. Not likely to 'play well' with 'feminists', but this IS an Italian flik and such macho antics seem entrenched in Italian cinema. Henceforth, Angelina starts looking for guys to treat her similarly & ends up in a series of one night stands with lovers who tend to degrade her and forcefully make lust to her. Perhaps it was some of this 'violent sex' action that got the film censored - even tho the 'violence' is really pretty light-weight, and it is technically all consensual. While the story, acting, and production values are all decent it is primarily various sex scenes & copious nudity that keeps this one rolling along and Ms Grandi gives the viewer much to contemplate-she's built like the proverbial brick s-house!. She apparently starred previously in Tinto Brass's film "Miranda', and 'Lady of the Night' plays a bit like a darker Tinto Brass effort. A steamy tale of marital infidelity, female sexuality, and, ultimately, reconciliation - it is an easy & enjoyable watch. This version has a (nicely!) dubbed English soundtrack and good clear widescreen picture - extras include only one trailer for another Italian erotic film.

I first saw this film when it was shown as part of LiveTV's Exotica Erotica strand in the mid nineties and found it compelling viewing. I have searched for it since and only recently discovered it on Amazon. A worthwhile watch even if it's just a bit of eighties nostalgia you are after. The script is rather twee but that actually adds to the feel I think.

I have to be honest and say my only reason for purchasing this was to feast my eyes on the lovely Serena Grandi - surely one of the most beautiful women of the last thirty years. It turns out to be a half decent 80s movie about a troubled marriage, and very much more than just a skin flick. Shame about the dubbing though (no options for the original diaglogue with subtitles). Grandi is a decent actress who happens to have no qualms about nudity on camera (a kind of Italian Helen Mirren, if you will) and should warm the cockles of any but the stoniest hearts.
