Letterboxd review
★★★½ Watched by Slig001 03 Aug 2021

Tinto Brass is probably best known for exploitation films such as Caligula and Salon Kitty, but he also made some softcore erotic films, and The Key is the first of them. The film is based on a story by Junichirō Tanizaki and depicts a four way love affair, here set in 1940 fascist Italy, just before the outbreak of World War 2. The film has some humour and absurdity to it; but it’s actually a quality film; very well made and with things to say about sex and relationships. It’s a Tinto Brass film though, so there’s plenty of nudity too. Much of it focuses on the amazingly beautiful Stefania Sandrelli, who is very well cast in the lead role. She has just the right assets for the part. The Key is very slowly paced but there’s plenty to keep the interest up – by far the most bizarre moment is a foreplay scene involving horse noises! The film seems to be something of a celebration of sex and the importance of enjoying your life, which are messages I can get behind. The Key is definitely a better film than its reputation would suggest, anyway.

Quote:
Following the gorgeous, seemingly liberated Adriana (Divorce Italian Style’s Stefania Sandrelli) as she chases her dreams in the Rome of La dolce vita, I Knew Her Well is at once a delightful immersion in the popular music and style of Italy in the sixties and a biting critique of its sexual politics and the culture of celebrity. Over a series of intimate episodes, just about every one featuring a different man, a new hairstyle, and an outfit to match, the unsung Italian master Antonio Pietrangeli, working from a script he cowrote with Ettore Scola, composes a deft, seriocomic character study that never strays from its complicated central figure. I Knew Her Well is a thrilling rediscovery, by turns funny, tragic, and altogether jaw-dropping.

The post Antonio Pietrangeli – Io la conoscevo bene AKA I Knew Her Well (1965) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The first episode with Paolo Villaggio was the centre of controversy over its tastelessness, resulting in director Loy removing his name from it. The star resides in Amsterdam with his wife, making very little money selling specialty Italian food; one day he crosses paths with a local bigwig who notices the generous size of his member and, soon, Villaggio starts bringing home lots of dough – appearing in mask and costume, billed as the “Italian Superman”, in live porn shows making love to nubile girls stretched out on a large plate of pasta! It’s not long, however, before the wife finds out – but, rather than ask him to stop, she wants to get in on the act; the catch is that he can’t ‘work’ with his wife, and this soon leads him to be replaced by a Turkish hunk! Perhaps the best moment in this episode sees Villaggio hanging over the side of a ship: on chasing his initially distraught wife, he tries to explain that he’s doing it for her as well as the country’s honor, before nonchalantly confessing that he has just s*** his pants!

Nino Manfredi’s episode may be the most ordinary of the lot, since it’s not much different from many another Italian comedy of the era where an ageing man has one last fling with a teenage acquaintance. However, the star’s wonderful performance – not to mention the lovely presence of the entire female cast (including Manfredi’s elegant wife and their spunky daughter) – make it a very engaging romp (while also commenting on the state of ‘modern’ families).

The final episode is universally considered the best of the three: it revolves around a very simple situation, where Monsignor Alberto Sordi is trapped in an elevator for three days with sexy young Stefania Sandrelli. They start off by loathing one another, but their predicament (which happens during Italy’s Ferragosto period, where literally everybody goes on vacation!) soon has them bonding. The girl is even lulled into confiding her deepest secrets to the elderly man of the cloth, i.e. how she chose to console a young boy she just met whose mother had recently died (though when Sandrelli tells the priest that she wasn’t comfortable doing it, due to the presence of the boy’s sister at the same party, he bursts out with a spontaneous “What the f***?”). Sordi, however, is eventually revealed to be less pious than he lets on – and his declaration that someone freeing his natural instincts under abnormal conditions (as happens to him in the dark with Sandrelli here) isn’t responsible for them is rather a moot point!
