Tinto Brass comes up with the goods yet again in this highly erotic drama about an ignored wife Marta who seeks sexual satisfaction elsewhere via alternative liaisons. She keeps a diary about the downturn in her relationship with husband Dario. The story line is much in keeping with previous outings: bored, ignored housewife Marta; husband Dario who keeps business to the forefront of his life. Marta seeks alternate liaisons with Leon, often in a risque fashion; she is influenced by her peers; husband finds and reads diary and gets angry; realises his errors and puts thing right at the end. All pretty standard stuff, but done at a good pace.
The part of Marta is played very sexually, the character rarely wearing panties during her dangerous liaisons. She wears split, bottom-revealing nightwear (a Tinto trademark), often so short as to be of no real use at all, and very open, revealing daywear.
Some of the sexual scenes are bordering almost on hard-core, either that or some very deceptively clever camera angles are used, but I would suggest the former in fact. Oral sex, albeit on a fake penis is visible as performed by Marta on Leon, and double penetration is suggested, but not seen. Several beaver shots of Marta are continuously and uninhibitedly shown throughout the film, as indeed the sex of the male characters as well and at the very end we do get to see actual penetration, either that or a very good facsimile of it.
All in all, this is by far the most erotic Tinto Brass film I have seen (except the uncut version of Caligula), and one which Tinto fans will surely wallow in. Highly erotic, but done with real sexual class and beautifully shot.

I have to say this is a film with a slightly porno heart despite its arty pretensions, which themselves does the film credit, because, unlike the mass of American softcore nonsense out there that is bland and predictable there is something unique about the colours, imagery and ambience of any Tinto Brass film which helps you suspend your judgement for a while as you are transported by the story. The actress is beautiful in a summery, frivolous and carefree way. This is the perfect film to sit and watch with your girlfriend, feeling relaxed and sexy together.

It's strange to read all those reviewers complaining about "lack of depth","silly plot","weak story",etc...in this and other T.Brass films.If you are looking for "depth" and "clever plot" - STAY AWAY FROM Tinto Brass movies at all and go to Ingmar Bergman,Luchino Visconti or Alfred Hitchkock (whom I personally like very much too!) instead.But if you want something that is totally different from "clever" erotica ("Emanuelle","Jamon,Jamon" and the like)of Just Jaeckin or Bigas Luna,really stupid flicks of Russ Meyer or perverse S/M escapades of Jess Franco or Walerian Borowczyk,then Brass is the best choice.It is this charm of a teenager's "silly" erotic phantasies and dreams in his best films that are SO ATTRACTIVE.It's a world of pagan love rites,sweet lust,peeping pleasures and secret phantasies, brought by the gifted director to the screen, that is totally devoid of any moral,religious or social conventions.To immerse into this strange,illogical,absurdly naive, but very sweet world sometimes is really a pure joy! No other film-maker does it better than Mr.Brass.AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PORN! Even in the most explicit scenes!
This film,along with "The Key", "The Voyeur", "Miranda", "Paprika", "All Ladies Do It", "Cheeky" is one of his best and enjoyable efforts.Amazing,sweet stuff for a rainy autumn day.

Well, certainly an 18. An attempt to make a romantic type film but really just an excuse for fantasy. Tinto Brass at his most usual.

cheesy very very cheesy
Wasnt sure what to expect from this but it turned out to be a bit of a laugh, not erotic in any way, dull in places, very silly in others, with some very dodgy music throughout. Read more

As Expected.
The images are grainy and the sound tinny, but this is about what you'd expect from early Tinto Brass, before he descended into the vulgar world of orifices and prosthetic devices. Read more

The quality of the filming is one of the worst I have seen. I threw it in the bin after watching less than 30min

Don't bother
I don't know why I bought this - perhaps a bit hopeful that it might be interesting and sexy. I didn't survive more than twenty minutes - the acting is dire and the storyline... Read more
