Known for avant-garde beginnings in the 60s and 70s before pivoting to high-stylized erotica like Caligula and All Ladies Do It , Brass used to encapsulate his career-long obsession with the "gaze". It marks his final transition from director to a legendary figure of Italian cinema history. Viewing Options
