Giovanni Brass(born 26 March 1933), better known asTinto Brass, is an Italian filmmaker. He is noted especially for his work in the erotic genre, with films such asCaligula,Così fan tutte(released under the English titleAll Ladies Do It),Paprika,Monella(Frivolous Lola) andTrasgredire.

Career Throughout the 1960s and 1970s he created many avant-garde films, includingNerosubianco,L'urlo, andLa Vacanza. However, he is best known for his erotic epics,Salon Kitty,The Key,Senso '45andCaligula. The latter film was an over-the-top contentious "collaboration" (read "contest") with celebrated author Gore Vidal, Franco Rossellini andPenthouse magazinepublisher Bob Guccione. However, many considerCaligulanot to be a true Tinto Brass film since post-production was not handled by Brass. The director demanded that his name be stricken from the credits after Guccione inserted hardcore sex scenes and recut much of the film's story and theme structure. Despite this, the film contains many of Brass' trademarks and remains his most widely viewed work (and the [1] highest-grossing Italian film released in the United States). Well into his seventies, he continued to make films. [2] In 1972, he was a member of the jury at the 22nd Berlin International Film Festival.

Style Brass' films follow an impressionistic style–they tend not to show immense landscapes, but bits and pieces of the scenery and peripheral characters and objects through pans and zooms, thus imitating how the viewer might see the events if they were actually present. This also gives the films an extraordinarily rapid pace. He often uses a television-like multicam method of shooting, with at least three cameras running at once, each focusing on something else.

There are many other directorial trademarks throughout his films. From 1976'sSalon Kittyonwards, mirrors play a large part in the set design. Sometimes he even goes as far as to begin a scene with a mirror shot, then pan over to the action being reflected, giving a disorienting feeling. His erotic films–especiallyThe Key,MirandaandAll Ladies Do It–often accentuate women's buttocks and pubic hair, almost to the point of fetishizing those particular physical features. Brass' films in the 1980s and early 1990s had mainly been adaptations of famous erotic literary works, namelyThe Key(La chiave),The Mistress of the Inn(Miranda), the novelLe lettere da Capriby Mario Soldati (Capriccio), Fanny Hill(Paprika), and the novelL'uomo che guardaby Alberto Moravia (The Voyeur), while 2002 filmSenso '45is an adaptation ofSenso, previously filmed by Luchino Visconti. He almost always works in a cameo for his friend Osiride Pevarello and, in the recent years, himself as well.

Personal life His nicknameTintoretto(later shortened to Tinto) was given by his grandfather Italico Brass, a renowned Gorizian [3] painter. [4] [5] Brass is an atheist and is politically affiliated with Italian Radicals. [6] On Sunday, 18 April 2010, he suffered an intracranial hemorrhage.
