When you come across such films, first of all you think that they are just needed, then after a long time you revisit them and realize that they are needed after all. Then when many years pass and you come across this movie again, you are glad that it exists.
Of course, this is its own genre of erotic melodrama with a silly plot, with talented actors for such a film, especially the picture is drawn by a director who specializes in this genre, which means that something in it will look definitely interesting, for me personally it is unusually staged erotic scenes. Tinto Brass actually has fantasies, all the stories in our heads, but filmed and conveyed in artistic language, not as pornographic as in our heads. But despite all this, in my opinion, there is nothing here but a sexual connotation. And you don't need more than that...
