Thankfully there's plenty of Brass' signature humor here to keep things lively as Marta is actually a pretty unappealing heroine who comes off as more of a petulant, selfish brat than a neglected, sympathetic woman sure, Ukranian actress Jimskaia (apparently an international gymnast and acrobat!) is fond of showing off her derriere and other assets as much as Brass' previous heroines, but eventually you just wish she'd figure out how to actually talk to her lover or her husband instead of prancing around playing passive-aggressive mind games. The story is nothing particularly special here the setup alone is basically a more explicit riff on the opening act of Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill, though obviously with a very different punchline. The scenic shots of Mantua ("a sensual city," as Brass describes it) and plentiful frescoes give this a sleek veneer far different from your usual softcore effort, though the sex scenes are as plentiful and raunchy as any in the Brass canon (including a final scene that pushes the whole rubber phallus motif a lot further than usual). That night while a maestro of erotica (played by director Tinto Brass, of course) lectures the attendees on the difference between erotica and pornography, Marta begins her elaborate deception involving hopping in bed with Leon, keeping a diary of her fantasies and indiscretions, and teaching her husband that some women just like to be taken by force and serviced appropriately rather than used as toys.ĭubious sexual politics aside, any viewer would know even without the credits that this is pure Tinto Brass territory right from the opening credits. What's a girl to do? Go to an art gallery, apparently, where she meets French stud Leon ( Private's Marino), who's in town for a book festival in which his book company is participating. When he fails to satisfy her for the umpteenth time after he selfishly attends only to his own needs, she's forced to finish herself off when he's out of the room. Married life isn't going so well for Marta (Jimskaia), a pouty blonde first seen rolling in the sack with her writer husband, Dario ( Monella's Parodi).
