Monamour Tinto Brass

directed by Tinto Brass
Italy 2005

Another high-living and uninhibited but dissatisfied bodacious beauty (Anna Jimskaya) meets another one of Tinto Brass' ass-loving aesthetes (Riccardo Marino) and keeps record of all of their adventures in her diary for her husband (Max Parodi, Brass' FRIVOLOUS LOLA) to discover. As usual, being cuckolded proves arousing and true love wins out in the end. Though visually pleasing (featuring attractive cinematography and lighting as well as stunning set design) and explicit, this feels more like a place-holder film in between hopefully better projects (sort of like Brass' earlier lukewarm anthology P.O. BOX TINTO BRASS).

Comments

Mondo's dual-layered presentation is beautiful with great detail even in the darker sequences. The 5.1 track is boisterous, particularly during the use of Bo Didley's song "Mona" throughout. The UK Region 2 PAL DVD from Arrow Entertainment has English subtitles but is non-anamorphic widescreen with Italian Dolby Digital 2.0 audio only and the Russian Region 5 anamorphic DVD with 5.1 Italian audio makes use of less explicit takes.
