Capriccio

 (1987)

by Tuna

Capriccio is an erotic tale from the notorious butt-worshipper Tinto Brass.

A married couple (Nicola Warren and Andy J. Forrest) returns to Italy shortly after WW II. He is researching a project for UNESCO, but both are looking forward to picking up where they left off during the war with their Italian lovers, Luigi Laezza and Francesca Dellera. He has little trouble climbing back into bed with Rosa (Dellera), but she has more trouble finding Ciro (Laezza). Both end up realizing that things that happened in Italy were better left in Italy.

Along the way, Tinto uses every opportunity to show loving looks at generous backsides, and manages full frontal from both Nicola Warren and Francesca Dellera. Some of the sex is steaming hot, and the relationships seem believable, so this is one of Tinto's better efforts, and a solid example of  Eurotica.
