(aka 'All Ladies Do It" or "All Women Do it" or "Così fan tutte')
Directed by Tinto Brass
Italy 1992
After five years of marriage, Diana discovers the joys of adultery, claiming that she can save her failing relationship with her husband through betrayal. From Tinto Brass, the director of “Caligula” and “Salon Kitty” comes the stylish, erotic comedy / drama All Ladies Do It, starring the sexy Claudia Koll (Miracolo Italiano). Cult Epics proudly presents the uncut and uncensored newly restored director's cut with vintage and brand new bonus features. *** More Tinto Brass tom-foolery. In another tale of titillation and comedic flirtations, Diane (Claudia Koll) is happily married to Paolo but due to her extrovert character she regularly winds up in short-lived adventures, which she doesn't keep hidden from Paolo. On the contrary: by telling him, their sexual relationship is fueled with fresh impulses. When Diana experiences a stormy affair with the poet Alphonse, who is obsessed with female bottoms, Paolo gets jealous after all. He rejects Diana, who responds by indulging in a series of sexual excesses with her sister and some friends. After a particularly rough house-party, however, Diana returns to Paolo. For me who enjoy... um... women posterior's , this film is loaded ..um.. cheekiness. I think most know what to expect from Tinto Brass by now. |

NOTE:
The below
Blu-ray
and
4K UHD
captures were taken directly from the respective
discs.
The included second disc Blu-ray supports the new color scheme (see a match below) but the higher resolution, predictably, expresses the film better; tighter, pleasing grain etc. It is likely that the monitor you are seeing this review is not an HDR-compatible display (High Dynamic Range) or Dolby Vision, where each pixel can be assigned with a wider and notably granular range of color and light. Our capture software if simulating the HDR (in a uniform manner) for standard monitors. This should make it easier for us to review more 4K UHD titles in the future and give you a decent idea of its attributes on your system. So our captures may not support the exact same colors (coolness of skin tones, brighter or darker hues etc.) as the 4K system at your home. But the framing, detail, grain texture support etc. are, generally, not effected by this simulation representation. NOTE: 28 more more full resolution (3840 X 2160) 4K UHD captures, in lossless PNG format, for Patrons are available HERE

On their
4K UHD,
Cult Epics offer DTS-HD Master tracks (24-bit) in English mono or stereo
or Italian mono or stereo.
"All Ladies Do It" is filled with slinky burlesque
titillation but no intense audio effects.
The
score is by
Pino Donaggio
(Dressed
to Kill,
Blow
Out,
Body Double,
Don't Look Now,
Carrie,
Raising Cain,
Crawlspace,
Meridian,
Beyond Evil,
Tourist Trap
etc.) augments the romance and sexual escapades effectively keeping a
lighter tone.
Cult Epics
discs offers optional English subtitles - and is, like all
4K UHD, region FREE,
playable worldwide.
The
4K UHD and
Blu-ray discs
offer an optional commentary by Troy Howarth (author of
So Deadly, So Perverse: 50
Years of Italian Giallo Films) and Eugenio Ercolani (Darkening
the Italian Screen II: Interviews with Genre and Exploitation Directors Who
Debuted in the 1970s.) They talk about Brass's 18th feature and go
back to 1983's "The
Key" - arguably his best film, discuss him poking fun at Italian
culture including religion / the clergy (how the two Nuns of the alley way
appear to be male, see
HERE,) his cinematic obsession with buttocks,
comparisons to Fellini, and the writer / director's iconic status in Italy,
explicit-ness and how he transcended the bawdy qualities of his 80's films and
surviving the 90s to thrive in the 2000s. They observe his artistic representation, talk about
Caligula, the dream-like stylized atmosphere of his films, pastel
color, mirror usage and much more. It an excellent primer on the director
and this film. Both discs also include a handful of Tinto Brass theatrical
trailers (All Ladies Do It,
Frivolous Lola,
Paprika ,P.O.
Tinto Brass and Istinto Brass.)
The second disc
Blu-ray also has a 1/4 hour
2001 interview with Brass, 10-minutes of outtakes of
All Ladies Do It
(NOTE: these outtakes were included on
the Cult Epics DVD release of
All Ladies Do It
as a bonus feature. Some of these outtakes are now included in the uncut,
uncensored director's cut presented on this disc.) There is also a photo
gallery on the
Blu-ray.
The
4K UHD package is housed in a double-sided sleeve
with original uncensored Italian poster art, a slipcase and has a 20-Page
illustrated booklet with liner notes by Eugenio Ercolani and Domenico
Monetti. A first pressing (4K UHD
exclusive only) includes 4 repro Italian lobby card prints.
Tinto Brass' "All Ladies Do It" is loosely based on Mozart / da Ponte
opera Così fan tutte ("So do they all".) It has Diana (Claudia
Koll after her cinema debut,) the wife of a young couple seeking
adventure outside the monotony of their sex life stretching the boundaries
of morality with risqué behavior - seemingly unable to say 'no' to some
dalliances. The director shows a unique artifice outside, or skirting the
edges, of hardcore pornography. He has strong film influence working with
some big stars and is notable for having 'discovered' erotic icon, 80s-90's
sex symbol, pin-up girl Serena Grandi (The
Great Beauty,
Antropophagus,
Delirium) with her first starring role in Brass' 1985
Miranda initiating
her path of stardom. Koll has become very religious and has dismissed her
unabashed central role in "All Ladies Do It". Tinto Brass always
hints at sophistication - with social and political subtleties throughout.
His cinematic style, framing, use of color and plush sets imbue fantasy
while visually exploring feminine beauty - that push 'male eroticism'
buttons. The
Cult Epics'
4K UHD
release of
Tinto Brass' "All Ladies Do It" has the highly remarkable and
impressive video upgrade, a revealing commentary, booklet and accoutrements.
Brass fans who have suffered through marginal digital editions will be
immensely pleased with this newer format edition. |
