Brass Collection New |link|: Tinto
As physical media becomes increasingly the domain of collectors and connoisseurs, the survival of niche directors like Tinto Brass depends on restorations like these. His films are not for everyone—they are defiantly, unapologetically adult. But for those who appreciate the craft of cinematic sensuality, there has never been a better time to explore his work.
Censorship of Brass’s work was aggressive. Scenes were removed to secure R-ratings in the US or 18 certificates in the UK. The "new" collections from labels like Cult Epics (Region A) and 88 Films (Region B) are almost universally uncut and unrated. This means fans can finally see the films as Brass screened them at the Venice Film Festival. tinto brass collection new
