(originally titled Trasgredire or Tra(sgre)dire ) is a 2000 erotic comedy directed by the Italian filmmaker Tinto Brass . Known for its playful tone and focus on female sexuality, the film was recently remastered in 4K by Cult Epics to showcase its vibrant, high-definition cinematography. Plot and Themes
: The Italian title Tra(sgre)dire is a linguistic pun combining trasgredire ("to transgress") and tradire ("to betray"), reflecting the film’s central conflict between Carla’s sexual curiosity and Matteo’s jealousy.
: Reviewers often describe the movie as a "joyful" and "breezy" entry in Brass’s filmography, praising Yuliya Mayarchuk’s energetic and charming performance.
: The film's arc focuses as much on Matteo as it does on Carla, as he eventually learns to overcome his traditional possessiveness and accept Carla’s uninhibited nature. Cinematic Style
: While searching for a flat, Carla meets Moira ( Francesca Nunzi ), a bisexual real estate agent who initiates her into various "transgressive" sexual scenarios.
: The lighthearted atmosphere is enhanced by an infectious score by Pino Donaggio , a composer known for his work with Brian De Palma.
: True to Brass’s style, the film heavily emphasizes female forms, particularly the posterior, which the director famously calls the "mirror of the soul".
