After six months of marriage, the attractive, free-spirited and sexually insatiable housewife, Marta, already feels the passion wane and the desire for her literary editor husband, Dario, wither. However, in the background of Mantua's renowned literary festival, young Marta will fall for the charms of an intriguingly handsome stranger, the French Leon, while admiring Palazzo del Te's vivid murals. Of course, Marta's scandalous affair behind her husband's back will soon be noticed, as the suspicious Dario is engulfed little by little by the impatient and fierce flames of lust.
Directed by Tinto Brass. With Anna Jimskaia, Riccardo Marino, Max Parodi, Nela Lucic. An attractive, yet neglected housewife will have a scandalous affair.
Perhaps a dash of infidelity is all that Dario needs to awaken his dormant enthusiasm for the neglected Marta. It is an erotic and sensuous play around a very sexual woman who doesn't get it enough from her husband. Don't expect any semblance of real lifeism, expression of feelings and so on. Its a Tinto movie! Well, it is actually more of Anna Jimskaia's flick than Tinto's. She is a feast to watch, especially when she appears sans clothes or is in revealing attire which she is a lot many times throughout the film. Some of the clothes she wears are so 'Tinto'!
It is a film, a B-movie to be specific (its not a porn film) with a story and a script. But it feels like a remix of the director's older movies. It tries to play out suggestive sexuality but in a way, it stops short of it.
The psychological surge of sensuality and kink that is a characteristic of Tinto is there but is not as strong in his other films like The Voyeur. That is why feels like there is nothing much in the way of the movie.
The performances of the cast could have been stronger but it is the relative weakness of script has played its part in the not-that-strong characterization of the cast. It a turn-you-on movie. Nothing much but I like it the way it is. Worth watching just for every scene of Anna Jimskaia and the camera that's on to her! Ljubavni romani pdf scribd account.
