  Images - The Tinto Brass Collection
Although Brass would probably chuckle at the idea that these three films have a strong feminist slant, Brass' female leads are strong, independent, and almost heroic in their quests to become emancipated from their roles as housewives, concubines, or mothers.
Brass' characters are complicated, occasionally messy, and charged with enough lust to sap even the strongest of relationships, and Brass allows his characters room to explore, make mistakes, and ultimately celebrate the intricacies of their intimacy.
Although Brass' clever screenplay is always amusing and entertaining, the story itself (Miranda, a tavern owner, beds four men over the course of a year in a search for the perfect husband/lover) is definitely a one-note affair and the performance by Serena Grandi as the titular character is severely hampered by atrocious English dubbing.

 TINTO BRASS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Tinto Brass’s career for the first quarter of a century was possibly the most jinxed in cinema history, but, beginning in 1983 with a series of ten erotic films, has become one of the rosiest but most misunderstood in cinema history.
Brass intended his films for general audiences, for popular amusement, but to his dismay only intellectuals appreciated his earlier works—and once he finally won mass popularity in 1983 for his erotica, he lost his earlier fans.
Tinto’s father was a noted and well-to-do lawyer, and Brass originally planned to pursue that same career.

 Tinto Brass (1933 - )   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Giovanni Brass (born 1933), better known as Tinto Brass, is one of the most well-known Italian filmmakers.
Brass' films follow an impressionistic style-that is, not showing immense landscapes, but bits and pieces of the scenery and peripheral characters and objects through pans and zooms, thus imitating how the viewer might see the events if they were actually present.
Tinto Brass [Saloon Kitty (1976) / Caligula (1979)] is unquestionably the finest director of erotica in the world.

 The Films of Tinto Brass
Brass had already tread this area far more viciously with his orgiastic Nazi yarn, Salon Kitty, and he would return to the '40s and '50s in his later work with increasingly benign results.
Extras include a new Brass video interview in which he discusses the making of the film as well as the usual batch of trailers.
This is by far the most successfully presented Brass film on DVD thanks to a stunning, colorful anamorphic transfer and a rich 5.1 mix, all of which make one wish his earlier films could have received the same treatment.

 Monsters At Play: The Tinto Brass Collection Review
The first and last name when it comes to "ass men", Tinto Brass has somehow made a career out of gleefully exploiting the female derriere (among other parts of their heavenly bodies).
Brass succeeds with Miranda in that he produces a much more interesting story (and characters) and some truly witty dialogue than some of his other efforts.
Brass skillfully takes us from one sexcapade to the next and in the process manages to fill his frame with beautiful photography along with likeable and sympathetic characters (and ass, did I mention the ass?).

The star-studded cast, perhaps lured by the high-profile involvement of producer Bob Guccione and screenwriter Gore Vidal, includes such luminaries as John Gielgud, Peter O'Toole, and Helen Mirren.
Director Tinto Brass, whose similar treatment of Nazi Germany in Salon Kitty won him the job, did his best with the mammoth enterprise, but numerous production problems and re-edits took their toll on the finished product.

 Amazon.co.uk: The Voyeur [1993]: DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
I would not hesitate to rank The Voyeur among the best of Tinto Brass' films available outside Italy, on a level with Cheeky and All Ladies Do It (Caligula is a category in itself), both in terms of its general filmic qualities and of its sensuality.
Brass' films are devoid of even a second of nastiness: this is erotica, which far from being degrading for women or propagandistic of male stereotypes, can even be seen as feminist.
As with most of Tinto Brass films the story is light and the English is dubbed.

In "Frivolous Lola" he directs a tale of a young girl recently engaged but unwilling to wait until marriage for the kneading action her baker fiancé cruelly lavishes upon his doughy creations instead of her.
The one used for this disc is quite fresh and lacks the usual scratches and jumps that so often riddle his other masterpieces.
The 2.0 sound mix is in stereo (a true luxury for Tinto devotees), although it's mainly used for the benefit of the Pino Donaggio score, and the many popular 60s tunes that litter the movie.

Tinto Brass, the Italian director who helmed Caligula, releases three of his other erotic films in The Tinto Brass Collection, a set of DVDs that is more noteworthy for its visual worship of the female form than it is for strong storytelling.
It takes a while to get used to Tinto's heavy accent, and many of his sentences require use of the rewind button to figure out what he said.
I think the best reason Brass' fans will want to pick up this set is for the interviews — but there's really no reason to buy the set for just those.

Cinema critics love to hate Tinto Brass and consider him one of the worst directors of all time, an evaluation that is totally unjustified (besides after Zalman King I don't know why any critic would consider any other director for this unenviable position!)
Tinto Brass, who gained international notoriety, courtesy of Penthouse supremo Bob Guccione with Caligula, his most famous English language film to date, is certainly not your average director.
Yet Brass, who has made around 16 erotic films to date, has a particular style that makes him different from most erotic directors, including Meyer.

 Salon Kitty DVD
Most will foreshadow this film with their own perception, ignoring the mastery and the craft it seems to seep, only to complain that its illogical script and non-coherent plot, if there may be any, are background for distasteful scenes of uncanny violence.
Brass is, and although this interview is able to depict him in such a state of sophistication, I feel as a viewer there’s far more than meets the eye and fills the ears.
Tinto Brass, Ken Adams, Helmut Berger, Ingrid Thulin, and Teresa Ann Savoy are a terrific assembly of cast and crew with each person really participating to make this film that much better, for without them, Salon Kitty would have just been swept right under the rug.

 All Ladies Do It - DVDs and VHS - MovieMail UK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Brass is famed for his use of raunchily, earthily curvaceous female leads, and in Ms Koll he surpasses himself in the choice of classical beauty and sexual attraction.
As we would expect from Brass, the encounters themselves are beautifully photographed and extremely titillating, while very firmly holding one's attention on the gorgeous curves of the lead.
Although not a film for the hard-core porn enthusiast, 'All Ladies Do It' provides further proof that Brass is the master of the erotic, and in Ms Koll he has found the perfect vehicle for his humourous take on the female form in all its earthy, lascivious beauty.

 All Ladies Do It review - movie review of the Tinto Brass film starring Claudia Koll
In order to do this, Tinto Brass paints the portrait of a couple bound love, Diana (Claudia Koll) & Paul (Paolo Lanza), whose marriage is put in danger when Diana pushes her fantasies too far, making them a concrete reality with a varied entourage which includes her cousin and the participants of an orgy.
For Brass, love is above-all spiritual but the fidelity of the soul can, however, be dissociated from the fidelity of the body.
The beauty of the main actress finds an echo in that of the city and Brass manages to build his film around his characters; the sex scenes used here as dramatic springs around the the couple in question.

 Nerosubianco soundtrack (Tinto Brass) - The Freedom
Freedom was formed in the late summer of 1967 by two ex-Procol Harum members, Ray Royer and Bobby Harrison.
Before Freedom had even had time to prove their worth by composing a single measure of music, Brass commissioned them to write fourteen songs for Nerosubianco.
According to enthusiasts of psychedelic rock, these are the only songs by Freedom that were any good and they are now considered among the cream of the crop of the genre.

Oddly, though, it contains three lines of dialogue that were allegedly destroyed in 1976 prior to any public screening, and that never appeared in any previous releases.
Another for-instance is "PO Box Tinto Brass," which is most definitely cut (or rather re-edited).
But the cutting was done prior to the film's submission to the BBFC, which is why no cuts are indicated.
