Hate it! Hate it! Hate it!, 26 August 2005
3/10
Author: emlodik (emlodik@yahoo.com) from Denver, Colorado

And this is coming from a dedicated Tinto Brass fan! I don't know why, but after the gorgeous, atmospheric and tragic "Senso '45," Il Maestro managed to put together this idiotic anthology of six eye rolling short stories, consisting of bitchy couples, who like to bitch about their relationship and have wild sex while making bitchy comments.

The first story is like a lampoon of Brass' 1983 "La Chiave." A young couple goes to Morocco for their wedding anniversary and the husband wants to resurrect their dying love by having the wife screw around with some guy.

The second story deals with a pair husbands and wives who trade their spouses and pretend not to be aware that one is cheating with the other. Don't worry, it's less confusing than it sounds.

The third story story deals with a bimbo chambermaid, who prostitutes herself to a kinky German couple in order raise enough money for her boyfriend's "bed & breakfast."

The fourth story is the weakest of the six. A wife tells her husband about her sexual escapades (with flashbacks) while they're on a beach. He gets a boner and performs oral sex on her. THE END.

The fifth story is remotely entertaining. It's about a goofy couple, engaged to be married. He wants anal sex, she doesn't. So, they take naughty pictures, get invited to the house of a couple that does the same and things get... Well... Goofy.

The sixth story is about a husband who only *thinks* his wife doesn't know they're being watched while copulating. This short includes a pointless, but mildly chuckle inducing bit at a lingerie store.

And yes, the butt fetish is ever present and the sex scenes are beyond explicit. However, they are not "sexy" or "erotic" in any way. They are just a way for the characters to act like mildly retarded idiots. Let's just hope Brass' upcoming "MONAmour" (get it?) will be better.

Still, "Fallo!" gets three stars from me for its kitschy musical score, crisp direction & editing and Tinto Brass' amusing cameo in the last scene.

Me piaze (I like it), 23 July 2004
8/10
Author: Andres Rais from Buenos Aires, Argentina

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.

Cast in the Red Light District, 14 August 2007
3/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

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!")

Are the penises fake or real ?, 1 July 2007
6/10
Author: Frank Ivan from Indonesia

Are the penises real ? it's kinda like dildo, except for the second story (double trouble). I've just watched this movie yesterday. Some story interesting and arousing, some not. Very explicit and fun. I have rate the scenes as follow : The first story : 7/10 is funny and interesting for threesome. The second story : 8/10 is the best for me, because it happens all time at your office etc. The third story : 5/10 is also funny , but forgettable and not sexy the fourth story : 6/10 is simple and sexy the fifth story : 6/10 is also funny and hilarious the sixth story : 6/10 is also funny. This is not the best colection, I suggest Caligula, which one still the best of Tinto Brass project in art.

Have you already seen FALLO? The women look great. Virginia, especially, is of an overtly plumper shape, slightly unusual even for Brass' world.

Brass' humor is always decadent, coarse, mean, offensive, grotesque and violent and, therefore, also abstract. He might not be the greatest—yet he certainly is the most interesting and intriguing and naughty director. His stance is to take the lowest and surely meanest and most degrading view of most everything human; at this, he's far better than the artistic impostor Pasolini. This trend of porn comes from the cinematographic respectability—Fellini (--e.g., the fetish of plump divas--), Visconti, Cavani (--Antonioni filmed prettier stuff than these, but in an entirely other climate--); Bertolucci comes from the same sex—saturated atmosphere. Brass varied his approach, and took a coarser and plainer way in his last movies (--when it's not over—sentimentality--). His pornography has long been a theme of my writing.

His is some erotica that will survive. The soft—porn exists for directors like him; he doesn't, of course, 'express himself', because he has basically nothing to 'express'. Instead, he ceaselessly draws his porno vignettes, with enviable gusto and instinct. Brass is our guide to sex—guided lust.

Of interest in FALLO are exclusively the hefty sex scenes.

Brass does several _plein air studies of the physiology of orgasm—as in Raffaella Ponzo's scenes with her unlikable partner (this is an Italian specialty—sex in the countryside, orgasms in charming landscapes--); and several chamber studies—as in Frederica Palmer's funny bed scene, and office studies—see Federica Tommasi's scene. The battery of highly desirable babes counts Virginia Barrett, Raffaella Ponzo, Sara Cosmi, Federica Tommasi (--a porno star, go watch her double penetration in a porno short--), Silvia Rossi, Federica Palmer (--a nice _hottie--). The foxy Sara Cosmi's number reminds of the sheltered bourgeois effects used in LA CHIAVE; her naked ass in that discreet bluish light ….

So FALLO is essential Brass; disbelieve the disappointed ….

There are, in FALLO, several great scenes with Raffaella and Virginia—some feminine genitalia's vigorous handling, and the like, plus the delights of masochism and anal sex. The Nazi themes and German accents are there.

Brass is always Brass, 22 April 2004
5/10
Author: Shuyskiy

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.
