In this collection of three stories, an emotionally abused
wife finds comfort in the arms of her brother-in-law, a young
dancer undertakes an erotic and redemptive pilgrimage to Rome
involving live sex shows and nude photography, and a femme
fatale looks into a mirror as she recalls a sadomasochistic
love affair...
Try
imagining an erotic version of Alfred Hitchcock Presents,
and you'll have some idea of what this DVD series is like.
Only less well made. Producer Tinto Brass has little direct
involvement with these short films, apart from introducing
each one while puffing away characteristically on a cigar,
and making the occasional cameo appearance.
Though
the productions claim to have been directed in the "Tinto
Brass style", there is scant evidence of it here. Only in
A Magic Mirror is there any hint of Brass's eccentricity,
in the grotesque character of a brusque layabout husband (Ronaldo
Ravello), who spends much of his screen time lounging around
in a bath, like the captain of the B-Ark in The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy. But, although this tale displays
the most humour in the entire collection, it also shows off
the least amount of bare flesh, which is surely another important
ingredient that the audience will be expecting.
Things
get sexier in Julia, the story from which this collection
takes its name, which includes some particularly explicit
and highly charged sex scenes. Unfortunately, the plot is
almost totally incomprehensible - something to do with a dancer
(Anna Biella) going to Rome, but wildly at odds with the description
on the back of the sleeve, which mentions a photographer's
three beautiful models. I counted two of them at the most.
This production is also blighted by amateurish editing, which
leaves several gaping holes in the soundtrack. Oh well, at
least this DVD is subtitled, which spares us from woeful English
dubbing of the type recently heard on Brass's Private.
The
final tale, I Am the Way You Want Me, is a very weird
and nasty little minx. In it, a naked woman (Fiorella Rubino)
sprawls around in her bathroom, mouthing various strange utterances
to camera, and doing erotic things to herself, such as shaving
with a fearsome-looking cutthroat razor (shudder). And that's
about it.
A
further disappointment is the lack of any extra features.
So, all in all, this DVD has left me feeling rather brassed
off!

If Bat Had Gone Through The Bvas Process And Won, I Would Have Been Among Those Celebrating: Him - Bode George - Legitvibes
George has been a vocal critic of Tinubu for decades in Lagos politics, once famously vowing to go into exile if Tinubu became president.
I would have walked to the Villa, shaken his hand, and said 'Congratulations, you have the mandate of the people.' But when the process is flawed and the promised technology is bypassed, it leaves a bitter taste and makes it impossible to join the celebration. We must learn to follow our own rules if we want Nigeria to be taken seriously." George has been a vocal critic of Tinubu

"My issue has never been personal, but about the sanctity of our electoral process. The 2023 election was a missed opportunity to prove to the world that our democracy has matured.
Chief Bode George, a chieftain of the PDP, frequently pointed out that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) failed to fulfill its promise of real-time result viewing via the IReV portal, which he believes was essential for a "won and lost" transparency.
The quote you are looking for reflects Chief long-standing criticism of the 2023 presidential election process. In various interviews and statements, including those reported by outlets like Legit.ng and Arise News , George has consistently argued that the failure to strictly adhere to the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the electronic transmission of results undermined the election's credibility. |
