The Vacation -la Vacanza- - Tinto Brass — 1971 -s...Osiride, a failed revolutionary turned cynical advertising executive, spends his time baiting Sandro, a working-class anarchist. Gigliola floats between them, not as an object of desire but as a barometer of the emotional vacuum. The "vacation" becomes a sealed chamber where the three characters perform the rituals of 1960s liberation (free love, political debate, hedonism) only to discover that the ideologies are dead. The only thing left is cruelty. Composed by Fiorenzo Carpi, featuring music reminiscent of Italian folk songs Runtime: Approximately 105 minutes The Vacation -La Vacanza- - Tinto Brass 1971 -S...

Redgrave and Nero: A Powerhouse Duo Redgrave and Nero: A Powerhouse Duo Feature Title: Feature Title: "The Experimental Folk Tale: A Turning Point in the Career of Tinto Brass" Redgrave delivers a performance of incredible bravery. She is naked—both physically and emotionally—for much of the film. She conveys a sense of dislocation; her eyes often stare past the other characters, looking at something invisible. It is a physical performance, utilizing her tall, slender frame to convey both elegance and a fragile, bird-like vulnerability. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
