Believe it or not, Tinto Brass believed he was making a feminist film with this one. I have a few things to say about that, starting with the obvious: yeah, right, Tinto Brass.

But I think there's something to the claim, nonetheless. Some of the ways people talk about this film only make sense if we think of Carla as someone completely lacking in agency. Tinto's proposition is that Carla exercises the most agency out of anyone in the film, that the story is one in which Carla, coming into understanding her own sexuality, expresses her immense sensuality freely and as desired without being constrained by anything or anyone. I suppose it's evidently true that chauvinist attitudes restrain sexuality and sensuality to an immense level, and it is certainly true that this film is not in itself chauvinistic on that point. Carla's fiancé Matteo is essentially the villain of the film, a jealous, angry prude of a man rightly convinced that his amazingly horny partner is screwing around. Tinto's idea is that Carla's in the right throughout the film. Of course, even Matteo can change for the better, recognizing his own jealousy as the source of his own sexual energy. (incidentally, Carla wears panties when their relationship is healthy throughout the film.)

Anyways, this is a softcore porn, and as others will point out, it's essentially a Milo Manara comic brought to life. If you are a feminist, this movie is most likely going to offend you. Oh well, so sad for Tinto Brass. It is also an immense celebration of youth, sensuality, and even love. Most of all, though, it's a celebration of a woman's rear end, which Tinto Brass says is the mirror of the soul, which Tinto Brass believes tells the truth even when the face is lying. These last two beliefs are never really explained, but they're apparently very profound revelations for Tinto Brass. On, and it's a celebration of infidelity.

Look, you probably know if this is for you entirely based on the cover. I don't really believe in the film's message exactly, but I enjoyed watching it a lot.

There's an amazing sequence near the end of the film where Matteo is walking through a park not noticing all the people having sex with him, a parallel to the scene in the beginning where Carla walks through the same park. He comes upon a couple having sex, stops there and watches. He thinks he sees the woman as Carla for a second, then rubs his eyes and realizes he was wrong. An older man comes out from the bushes and asks him that makes him understand everything:

"Do you like my wife?"

alt. quote: "Well, I think she is a lesbian, and she wants to sleep with me."
