Synopsis

Tinto Brass talks candidly about his career, from his earliest arthouse films to the decidedly derrière-obsessed fetishism of his later work. An icon of erotic pleasure and voyeurism, his story is revealed in the tales of Gigi Proietti, Helen Mirren, Franco Nero, and Sir Ken Adam, among others.

Synopsis

Our take

Massimiliano Zanin’s sympathetic portrait of Tinto Brass is clearly informed by his years collaborating with the great maestro of erotic cinema. This genial documentary traces Tinto’s avant-garde foundations and later mastery of soft-core—with interviews from the likes of Helen Mirren & Franco Nero!
