Fallo!

Fistful of erotic short films, just like "P.O. Box Tinto Brass" (1995). Half porno, half comedy - but really stupid comedy with strong flavor of italian 70-s movies. Now maestro Brass absolutely spitted on psychological stuff like "Miranda" or "Voyeur". Actresses looks like real "girls next door" - with cellulite and unshaved arm-pits. Don't look "Fallo!" if you waiting something from this film - it's for Tinto real fans only! So, Brass is always Brass! By the way, 'Fallo!' in italian means 'Oops!', not what you've just think.

I thought this was an X rated movie when I picked it up. The erections are real enough, but if you're expecting anything like what you see in a regular porn film, you'll be sorely disappointed. Nudity, yes, but actual sex, very very little, probably .001% of the film. The woman's hair gets in the way of viewing what is actually going on in one scene. In another, the steamy shower door obscured most of the view. I think my two favorites both involve the guy on the bed. Each has a boner, one is partially covered by a towel and the woman gets dressed to go out. In the other, it is protruding mightily from the opening in his boxers and she rolls off the bed to sit on the edge and answer the telephone! What is the point of this film? I don't know. (on the handsome Morrocan waiter guy's erection in the first vignette, he can be seen rolling on a condom! He appears to and is briefly shown to be having sex with the wife, probably is, but we the audience don't see anything conclusive. He might not be. Who knows with this crazy movie!) It is far too much for regular TV and not nearly enough for a porno. Too bad because some of the guys really had the equipment and muscular bodies to do a really good show.

Like the earlier P.O. Box Tinto Brass, Fallo! is another anthology of whimsical short erotic stories from maestro Tinto Brass, and like that earlier film, there's really very little to be said about it; the stories are for the most part very, very silly and dumb, and are really just an excuse for very pretty shots of beautiful people having sex. On the whole I enjoyed it more than P.O. Box; for one, the cinematography was more beautiful, and the lush, modern coloring really does Brass a whole lot of good. And second, it does away with the pointless and irritating framing device. A couple of stories - most of all Dupla Confusão ("Double Trouble") and Casos ("Jolly Bangs") - have enough subtext and wit to raise a smile, but the rest are complete nonsense, and Brass knows it. In his feature films he sometimes tried for more ambitious messages, for better (Cosi Fan Tutte) or for worse (Monamour), but in this case it's trashy erotica all the way through. Might be fun for Brass fans but not much to write home about.

Very funny film composed by six short stories just like "Miranda", "The Voyeur" all by Tinto Brass and some of their habitual cast or crew.

You can find an excellent use of the came, light and the red color that is seen in nearly the six stories, and the nasty/loose girls ready for pleasure. Do you like being observed? Another interesting matter that this movie includes. The last story is definitely the best of the movie. The name: Dime porca que me piaze!!! To conclude. It is Definitely a movie for Tinto Brass fans.

Non fans: Your choice. 8 out 10. Andres.

1) "Alibi" ("Alibi") While celebrating the seventh anniversary of marriage in a hotel in Casablanca, Morocco, Gianni convinces his wife Gianni to do a threesome with the room servant Ali. 2) "Double Trouble" ("Dupla Confusão") While playing tennis with Bruno, Stefania has intercourse with him in the bathroom. Meanwhile, Bruno's wife Erika does with Stefania's husband Luigi in his office, to get the position of guest in a talk show. 3) "Two Hearts and a Hut" ("Dois Corações e Uma Cabana") The maid Katarina is tipped with a high amount and prostitutes with a couple of sadistic & masochistic. 4) "Jolly Bangs" ("Casos") While on the beach, Raffaella fantasizes erotic affairs to the satisfaction of her husband Ugo. 5) "Honni Soit Qui Mal y Pense" ("Que a Maldade Fique com Aquele que Pensa Maldade") The photographer Franco wishes to have anal sex with Anna, who tells him that he can do only after marrying her. When they are invited to a party, she loses her virginity. 6) "Call me Pig…Cause I Like It!" ("Chama-me de Porca…Porque Eu Gosto!") While in London in their honeymoon, Rosy and Oskar disclose the real intentions of a voyeur.

Tinto Brass writes, directs and edits six erotic tales of extremely bad taste and low level. My first impression is that this film was cast in the red light district, in a brothel or in the porn industry. Most of the "actresses" shows cellulite and have flaccid bodies, or are simply wasted. I do not know the target audience of this crap, but I believe that even the most fanatic fan of Tinto Brass will be disappointed. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Faça Isto!" ("Do It!")
