Thirst for freedom. Ethics, aesthetics, and erotica

Born in Milan, but deeply attached to Venice, the city, which is his “mother, wife and lover,” Tinto Brass was already in childhood by a rebellious character. The intolerant of any form of power, he soon broke with his family, who saw in him a reckless and depraved young man, playboy, who only created problems. Having learned the art of film with Roberto Rossellini and Yeris Ins, Tinto Brass devoted himself to the genre of erotic cinema and began to create such milestones for the genre of the picture as “Caligula”, “Key”, “Peeping” and “Salon Kitty”, becoming an indisputable maestro of Italian erotica.
Tinto Brasse films not only presented a new approach to erotic aesthetics, but also became vivid statements about freedom, enlightenment and society. To the attacks of critics, Brassus answered Aristotelian syllogisms and new ethical dilemmas in his films, his bold methods and approaches admired Federico Fellini and Pierre Paulini. ways
