[All Ladies Do It]
Nudity with Guilt
Fun and superficial romp that states simply that sexual betrayal is natural, normal and, in fact, essential - especially if the woman is married to a dullard.
Director Tinto BRASS believes the lies of women can be detected by looking at their behinds - arse-omancy? He also believes that Western culture makes sex dirty and that his erotica is a solution to the problem of enjoying oneself without guilt or shame within such a culture.
Although an essentially‑correct criticism of the baleful affects of Christianity upon the Caucasian soul, such an argument can easily be used by mediocre talents to try and conceal their mediocrity. And such is the case here. Although the girls are lovely to look at, there is no real emotional trajectory to make all the nudity and sex on show an enjoyable and/or fulfilling psychological or dramatic experience.
Brass’s real goal is to make watching naked girls - young enough to be his grand‑daughters - an experience where he contrives to feel no guilt or shame. A classic dirty old man, this aspect of his work infuses it throughout; making one feel a little queasy despite the heterosexual pleasure plentifully‑afforded.
Feminine and delightfully‑frisky, Claudia KOLL makes the whole thing watchable by playing the part of the girl who wants to be craved by men (headstrong, willful and disobedient
): She very obviously enjoys playing‑out the director’s sexual fantasies and, possibly, her own. If ever proof were needed, this movie demonstrates that Christian countries produce the most pornography - as well as why.
Unlike Russ MEYER’s bosom fetish, Brass is a buttock man; trying to justify the very thing he implies needs no justification. This is all really guilt without sex - not the other way around - but without the Meyeresque solace of a hearty and a robust sense of humor. The film is, however, very stylish; emphasizing the fantasy aspect that motivates the whole thing, along with the women’s obvious enjoyment of their own carnality.
