# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Giovanni "Tinto" Brass was born 26 March 1933 and spent the '60s and '70s making critically acclaimed avant-garde films across multiple genres, earning respect in art-house circles. Then came the turn: he moved into erotica and never really left. Caligula marked the pivot, followed by a string of titles like Così fan tutte, Paprika, Monella, and Trasgredire that cemented his late-career reputation. The acclaim dried up, but the attention didn't. He's now defined almost entirely by the genre that arrived second, the earlier decades a footnote most viewers never see.
