Note; these three DVDs are available separately or
as a DVD box set.
 ALL
LADIES DO IT (Cult
Epics) 1992. Italian erotica. 88 minutes. NR, nudity, sexual
situations. Directed by Tinto Brass. Diana (Claudia Koll) and Paolo are a
happily married couple. To turn her husband on, Diana tells Paolo about
her sexual fantasies just before and during sex. Not only does this turn
Diana on, paolo loves to hear these fantasies as well. One slight problem,
her fantasies aren’t fantasies at all. They’re reality, only Paolo
doesn’t know it. Things are going seemingly ok, until Diana gets sloppy
and her secrets are revealed.
Just like the other two Tinto Brass DVDs (The Key and Miranda)
reviewed here, this movie is loaded with nudity and softcore sexual
situations. There is really nothing to make mention of here, other than
realizing after the opening scene where I may have lost my car keys. Sad
to write, but Diana is simply a slut. Man, she goes at it with just about
everybody alive. No extras on this DVD. – Denis Sheehan
 THE
KEY (Cult Epics)
1983. Italian erotica. 95 minutes. NR, nudity, sexual situations. Directed
by Tinto Brass. After twenty years of marriage, Nino is pleased to
discover that jealousy and thoughts of his wife, who is much younger than
he, with another man turn him on to no end. Another source of pleasure for
Nino is to take naked pictures of his wife, Teresa (Stefania Sandrelli),
while she is out cold and giving the photos away for other men to inspect.
Wanting more excitement, Nino encourages Teresa to carry on an affair with
their future son-in-law after noticing the mutual attraction between the
two. Ah yes, Nino’s sex life is finally where he has always wanted it,
but is that a good thing for the old fart?
As usual with Tinto Brass flics, this movie is loaded with nudity
and suggestive sex. Although these types of movies annoy me, The Key was
actually not bad. The story was good enough as I found myself highly
annoyed with Nino’s self abusive pleasures. Poor bastard. One thing I
found odd was how Nino and Teresa completely ignored their daughter’s
feelings. Neither one of them cared about using her husband to be as a
toy. Then again, if they didn’t ignore their daughter’s feelings,
there wouldn’t have been a movie. DVD includes a ten minute interview
with writer/director Tinto Brass (Caligula), a photo gallery, trailers,
etc. Of the few Brass movies I’ve seen, The Key is definitely the most
coherent.- Denis Sheehan
 MIRANDA
(Cult Epics) 1985.
Italian erotica. 95 minutes. NR, nudity, sexual situations. Directed by
Tinto Brass. Since her husband is missing and presumed a casualty of World
War II, Miranda (Serena Grandi) decides to move on and test drive a few
men and find a suitable husband. Taking on one man per season, Miranda
frolics with men of different age and background while employing her every
sexual desire. Who will be the winner of the Miranda sweepstakes?
Although Miranda is loaded with teasingly like shots, I found this
movie to be more amusing than erotic. Yes, there’s plenty of nudity and
sexual situations, but you have the love the Italian goofiness displayed.
First off, what’s the deal with all the hair? What do Italian mothers
feed their kids, hair hormones? God, nothing turns my stomach more than
the site of a man’s hairy ass. One scene shows Miranda seducing (by
hanging her large ass over the tub and peeing) an American man and asking
him to kiss her “there,” after spreading her legs. The man’s eyes
widen and the director gives us a close up shot of Miranda’s “area.”
Now, this is meant to be turn on, but all I could think of was how all
that hair would certainly tickle my nose and make me sneeze if I went
there. I also found the two women slurping on Popsicles while undressing
men with their eyes at the beach most hilarious. Of course, all the guys
are loving the slurping chickies, but little do they know just how
demeaning the women are being to them. Yes, plenty of hairy man ass shown
here. Ug, men are ugly beasts. I feel sorry for all you ladies out there.
The movie did move rather slowly, but it did have an ok story and was
tastefully made. DVD includes a ten minute interview with writer/director
Tinto Brass (Caligula), a photo gallery, trailers, etc. Oh ya, I just
remembered that I have to change the string stuff in my weed whacker.-
