In this collection of three stories, an emotionally abused
wife finds comfort in the arms of her brother-in-law, a young
dancer undertakes an erotic and redemptive pilgrimage to Rome
involving live sex shows and nude photography, and a femme
fatale looks into a mirror as she recalls a sadomasochistic
love affair...
Try
imagining an erotic version of Alfred Hitchcock Presents,
and you'll have some idea of what this DVD series is like.
Only less well made. Producer Tinto Brass has little direct
involvement with these short films, apart from introducing
each one while puffing away characteristically on a cigar,
and making the occasional cameo appearance.
Though
the productions claim to have been directed in the "Tinto
Brass style", there is scant evidence of it here. Only in
A Magic Mirror is there any hint of Brass's eccentricity,
in the grotesque character of a brusque layabout husband (Ronaldo
Ravello), who spends much of his screen time lounging around
in a bath, like the captain of the B-Ark in The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy. But, although this tale displays
the most humour in the entire collection, it also shows off
the least amount of bare flesh, which is surely another important
ingredient that the audience will be expecting.
Things
get sexier in Julia, the story from which this collection
takes its name, which includes some particularly explicit
and highly charged sex scenes. Unfortunately, the plot is
almost totally incomprehensible - something to do with a dancer
(Anna Biella) going to Rome, but wildly at odds with the description
on the back of the sleeve, which mentions a photographer's
three beautiful models. I counted two of them at the most.
This production is also blighted by amateurish editing, which
leaves several gaping holes in the soundtrack. Oh well, at
least this DVD is subtitled, which spares us from woeful English
dubbing of the type recently heard on Brass's Private.
The
final tale, I Am the Way You Want Me, is a very weird
and nasty little minx. In it, a naked woman (Fiorella Rubino)
sprawls around in her bathroom, mouthing various strange utterances
to camera, and doing erotic things to herself, such as shaving
with a fearsome-looking cutthroat razor (shudder). And that's
about it.
A
further disappointment is the lack of any extra features.
So, all in all, this DVD has left me feeling rather brassed
off!

It can lead to "cage-free but still slaughtered" scenarios. Critics argue it makes people feel better about inherently problematic systems. What are Animal Rights? (The "Not Ours to Use" Standard) Animal rights goes a step further. This philosophy argues that animals are not property to be owned or used for human purposes—period. Just as humans have fundamental rights (like the right not to be killed), so too do sentient animals.
Principled and consistent. It avoids the moral contradiction of "kindly killing" or "humane exploitation." It can lead to "cage-free but still slaughtered" scenarios
If you’ve ever scrolled through social media or watched a nature documentary, you’ve likely seen two phrases used interchangeably: animal welfare and animal rights . But while they sound similar, they represent two very different ways of thinking about our relationship with animals. (The "Not Ours to Use" Standard) Animal rights
This doesn't mean a mouse has the right to vote or a cow has the right to free speech. But it does mean they have the . Principled and consistent
Thanks to welfare advocates, veal crates are banned in the EU. Thanks to rights advocates, SeaWorld ended its orca breeding program. The tension between the two drives progress. You don't have to have a fully-formed philosophy to act today.
An animal rights advocate opposes factory farming, but also opposes "humane" slaughter. They oppose all animal testing, regardless of pain level. They often oppose zoos, horse racing, and even guide dog breeding (as it's still using an animal for human benefit).
Understanding the difference is key to having informed conversations about factory farming, animal testing, zoos, and even your new puppy. Let’s break it down. Animal welfare is the belief that animals should be treated humanely and without unnecessary suffering. However, it accepts that humans can use animals for food, work, research, or entertainment—provided we meet their basic needs. |
