Erotic with an big E, 29 August 2006
Author:
Anthons from Norway
This must be one of the most erotic films ever made,if you like this , you must see the rest of Tinto Brass movies. Claudia Koll are playing an excellent roll, and she is SO sexy This film are very erotic , without going over the fine line between erotic and porn. I have seen and have most of the Tinto Brass erotic movies that are made , and I must say that I like that kind of movies where the ladies are natural and not filled up with silicon. So if you want an erotic ,sexy,hot movie, just get one of Tinto Brass and your evening will be saved. I have seen a lot of other erotic movies form all over the world, and I must say that I liked the erotic movies that came out in the USA in the 1970 was more erotic than the movies that are coming out today. todays movies have no humor.

Tinto Brass as the top of his game..., 17 June 2005
Author:
Der_Schizoid_Tanzt from North Carolina
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
So far this is the best slice of erotica I've seen from director Tinto
Brass, as it manages to be both funny and sexy with lot's of charm and
finesse. Claudia Koll is absolutely delightful to watch(in more ways
than one) as Diana, the sexually frustrated wife of the very prudish
Paolo. Though she truly loves her husband, her lusts for other men and
the desire for anal sex, soon consume her as she goes on a sexual
marathon that puts her marriage with Paolo and her own happiness in
jeopardy. Now while that might seem like it could have some dark tones,
this is actually a very lighthearted film. It seems that whether things
go Diana's way or not, she always capable of being as giddy as a
schoolgirl throughout.
The look of this film is simply impeccable. And the fact that it's
filled with several beautiful women doesn't hurt either. I went in
expecting just an average sleaze fest, but came out with a new
understanding of how beautiful (and even funny) erotica can be.
Highly recommended!

horrible male lead, 14 February 2006
Author:
fog-9 from South Africa
call me crass, but i preferred the higher titillation factor of
"Cheeky", another anally fixated comedy from tinto brass...
although "all ladies do it" has some witty moments (when compared to
say, "cheeky"), they are destroyed by the hateful dubbing... i'm sure
this movie has more appeal in its native language... next time someone
transfers this to a boxed set, USE SUBTITLES! there are not enough
genuinely erotic or explicit moments... it teases, to be sure, but the
centerpiece of the movie is distinctly uninviting... a huge carnal
disco on the outskirts of town, with enough freak factor to fuel the
warhol factory... unfortunately, the synthesis of 80's dance music and
bopping italians may make for some good laughs, but little
excitement...
the story is virtually identical to "cheeky" and "monella"... the bored
wife of an "uptight" man (in brass world, anyone who doesn't get
excited by his wife cheating on him) is intrigued by all the sexual
tension around her, and decides to live in a state of hedonism... she
does maintain that she reserves her love for her husband, but it takes
awhile for him to come around to the idea...
the main male character is horrible to watch... during the sex scenes,
he grits his teeth, strains his neck muscles, and basically freaks
out... not something you'd like to witness...
once again, brass uses all his trademarks... mirror shots, overheads of
black and white corridors, seduction in the toilet, urination, plenty
of derrière, and laughable philosophy... normally i would smile and
accept his vision of an impossibly ripe world, but this movie somehow
disappoints, even with low expectations... some crisp and bold colours
though... tinto could make a fortune filming washing powder ads...

a very good movie, 1 February 2009
Author:
gesevage from Belgium
Tinto Brass surely knows how to make good movies with great decors,
nice coloration, interesting scenes, meanwhile introducing gorgeous
women like Stefania Sandrelli in La Chiave or, as is the case in this
movie, Claudia Koll. the story of Cosi'Fan Tutte may be quite simple,
but to make a good movie out of a simple story where liberation on
sexual terms is the key ingredient, very common to the Tinto Brass
movies, means we are dealing with fine artistry. it is known that at
least the Italian versions of the Tinto Brass productions are uncut,
and that is of the greatest importance. as Tinto Brass puts it, 'people
don't rent or buy films to see less, rather to see more' ...
Claudia Koll, an actress born in Rome on may 17 of 1965, is surely one
of the most gorgeous women ever to have appeared on the screen, and the
acting of her as well as of her colleagues in this production is great.
for instance in the train scene where she arouses two men who are
sitting opposed to her, her mimics are quite wonderful, courtesy of a
very good actress indeed. in every take of the film Claudia Koll is
quite a catch for the eye, always being dressed exclusively sexy, as
for instance in the tram scene, where she wears light summery kind of
'see through clothes' and obviously no bra. any men, and of course some
women, would be feeling hot at the spot.
to show you the kind of artistry involved in the making of this film,
in the Italian version you receive some extras which were either not or
alternately used during the final editing. for instance the scene of
the open air love party where a group of five guys want to seduce her,
is shown in an earlier edit, and finally changed somewhat in the
official version. obviously the director and all other artists involved
had to stick their heads together to recreate this and other movements,
in order to make a better representation, with a somewhat other timing,
as a result the whole becomes more exciting to watch, more finished to
the point, not the easiest thing to achieve by all means.
Tinto Brass also succeeded in building up the tension in the story, and
there is also some good humor involved. when I first saw this movie,
honestly during the first seconds already I was quite overwhelmed by
the sheer beauty of Claudia Koll, her sensual nudity shown at once.
also director Tinto Brass was quoted as saying he was quite absorbed by
her appearance. judge for yourselves, Cosi'Fan Tutte to me is one of
the finest erotic films from Italian Cinema, deserving a bravo for the
way it had been achieved.

His best, 9 November 2002
Author:
kad7259-1 from New York
I believe that this film is the best from all Tinto Brass' movies. It is funny and interesting, and, the most important, Claudia Coll is very good in that role. It is surprising to me that maestro Brass had never done anything better than this film. Most of his movies are boring, and even sex sceens don't help.
Claudia is the gold, 20 February 2010
Author:
Ivan Chaer from Italy
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I love this movie. Is much more interesting than Paprika. And the leading lady, Claudia, is the gold. Claudia could maybe be called slut, if she didn't dwell in a world made especially for her. At the first five minutes, Claudia knows Afonse Donatien, the pirate of love – the guy who talks her on anal sex while they dance in a party. Claudia's husband, Paolo, sits outside while Claudia and Afonse enter in the bathroom. The next fifty minutes revolve around Claudia going to Veneza after Afonse to deflower her gorgeous ass. Brass creates a universe where the girl can do anything she wants, no fear. Nothing is an obstacle for her to satisfy her own desires. I was surprised with the quality of the photography. The movie of Brass copies and develops the scene of fornication in the bus from a Brazilian film of 78 ("A Dama do Lotação", worth watching).

All Ladies Do It, 14 November 2008

All Ladies Do It (1992)
** (out of 4)
Italian erotic film from the director of Caligula tells the story of
Diana (Claudia Koll), a woman happily married to her husband (Paolo
Lanza) for five years. Even though she loves him more than anything
that doesn't take away her sexual desires for other men. The husband
can't stand not being the only one but perhaps after time he'll learn
that "all ladies do it". This is only my second film from Brass and his
visual style is certainly on full display here even though his story
telling skills aren't the greatest. I was shocked at how well the
screenplay actually was because a lot of softcore efforts place the
story second behind the sex but that really wasn't the case here. The
message of a woman having the right to be "sexual" without being
labeled "sluts" was taken very serious by the film. Brass does a very
good job with the look of the film with some great cinematography and
some wonderful set designs. The biggest issue I had with his direction
is that the entire film comes off as a butt fetish video as Brass is
constantly zooming in on women's behinds. I like a good butt as much as
the next person but after a while it grows quite tiresome but the scene
where the women decide to go skinny dipping is priceless. The
performances aren't really anything special but they do the job and in
the end God knows there's a lot worse out there than this.

In Place, 27 June 2007
Author:
tedg (tedg@FilmsFolded.com) from Virginia Beach
Great cinema is a matter of many elements drawn from a vocabulary,
formed into a great weave.
From time to time, it is enough for me to dive into a tone poem on just
one element of the vocabulary. Eroticism is inherently cinematic and
the other way around as well. But it seems that as much as sex is used,
it rarely seems to be simply erotic. By "simple," I mean something that
may not exist in the real world, that is noninvasive and nonexploitive.
That has the same purity that romance has in the date movie.
...which means it has to be shaped and conveyed with cinematic quality.
Some of Brass's later films do this, I think. I like "Paprika" but
that's largely because of the surrounding story, I think. Brass found a
woman in a pizza shop and built the movie around her. But this may be
his best in terms of cinematic values.
Its not for everyone. Female fantasies of this type are connected to
bodies and for mysterious reasons we're all over the place on that. But
you might look at this simply for overall effect, especially how the
camera is not casual, but the woman at the center is. Tat difference is
part of the engineering, and notable.
Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

Stylish porn, 28 January 2000
Author:
russel from Los Angeles
Maestro Brass is usually considered to be either most underrated or most overrated director in Italy. "All Women Do It" is his another, most successful exercise in stylish porn, with anal fetish and ridiculous morality. Not sexy, but that, kind of, is the point.Has a certain innocent charm, but then again, nothing more than just a porn film. *

Go rent a playboy video, 11 April 2008
Author:
Guanvitei2 from United States
I heard Tinto Brass did eroticism, fine. I heard he was a real artist using his film like a painting, fine. I can go on about the good things I've heard, now didn't I see s*** in this. A stylish porn? No, a boring porn that isn't really a porn more like odd voyeurism. The eroticism was so over bored it was more annoying and I'd say that it detracted from the plot, but there wasn't one. Had I wanted to watch a porno I'd'ave rented one. I expected a real movie with some nudity and sex not the other way around. Because there was so little and what there was was just so inane I'm just going to pretend like there weren't even characters. Now the cinematography, it was a bad spaghetti western quality. N ow I thought that Brass was supposed to be better than the spaghetti western directors, well he's actually worse. The shots were all bland and migraine worthy. I could go on. Then to really just make you hate the movie more the girl as the most irritating giggle I've ever heard (beside the fact it is a total sound bit)seriously after the first time I heard it I already wanted to punch her. I'll say this maybe his earlier stuff is better, but after this I really would have to doubt it.
