"Ultimo metrò" or "The Last Subway" is an Italian 23-minute short film from 1999, so two more years and this one will already have its 20th anniversary. Writer and director is Andrea Prandstraller, but the most known name attached to this project is certainly Tinto Brass who has a brief cameo in here. The entire film takes place at a subway station where we see two men early on chatting a bit and telling a woman about a problem with her clothes. The women is grateful and shows her thankfulness in her very own way to one of the two men (after the other is out of the picture quickly). Even if you are not fluent in Italian, it is probably not entirely necessary to have subtitles for this one as the talking is not essential in understanding the film and basically the last 15 minutes, maybe more are void of dialogue anyway, with the exception of one sentence by the male protagonist at the very end. If you can even call him "male protagonist" that is as the entire film is really all about Debora Calì's performance. It is very explicit, yet somehow very tastefully done, even if I would not agree with guy calling her the most beautiful woman on Earth. It probably helps if you are slightly horny when watching this film and I can see how male audiences like it more than female. It is an erotic tale from start to finish basically. There is a moment here and there when it drags a bit, but nothing too serious and the side-plots with the other guy waiting (Brass) more than the one with the surveillance guy keep it from having too many lengths. If you could even call it lengths when watching Calì's amazing body. i give it a thumbs-up overall. Worth checking out.
