Miranda

This is where the Brass style was born Miranda is an attractive widow who runs an inn on the Po River plain during the 1950s. Following the recent loss of her husband in the war, she decides not to formally commit to any man, but resolves to fully embrace her sexuality. During each of the four seasons, Miranda has relationships with four men who represent different paradigms: the loyal, young innkeeper, a wealthy, mature diplomat, a young truck driver, and an energetic ex-boxer. Each will attempt to win her over in his own way, while she continues to independently and calculatingly assess which of them best suits her desires for freedom, pleasure, and financial stability. Tinto Brass breaks with what could have been presented as a dark postwar drama, instead portraying sexuality through hedonism, lightheartedness, and lighthearted comedy. "Miranda" is, therefore, a film very much in the style of Tinto Brass, full of vivid colors, voluptuous photography and those fetish shots focused on the dangerous curves of the magnetic Serena Grandi, who shines with an imposing physical presence and a sensational narrative charisma.
