Something wrong?An Italian director who shifted from 1960s avant-garde provocation to erotic cinema so committed it became the only thing most people remember - despite the fact that his earlier work got the serious reviews.

About this person
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.
