The story takes place in northern Italy in the 1950's. Lola and Masetto are about to get married. Masetto wants to keep Lola as a virgin until they are married. But Lola is impatient to remain in chastity until the wedding night. She wants to be sure that Masetto is a good lover, before she commits herself into marriage. She does everything to trick Masetto into breaking the moral tradition.
Il Maestro Tinto Brass brings us another erotic gem, a hilarious slap stick comedy "Monella."
I was rather shocked that so many reviewers called this erotic film "disgusting" and "repulsive," and yet they have no problem watching American comedies, that shall be left un-named, that depict apple pie rapes, excrement eating, and anal fisting.
Brass directs in a light, fluffy style. He perfectly captures the beautiful, lush greenery of Italian country side and directs the erotic scenes with such skill and precision, it would make Paul Verhoeven get a stroke from envy and unlike most filmmaker, Tinto treats all the actors with great respects and no one gets exploited. His films are a great symbolic hymn to the human body.
Pino Donaggio's lively score proves to be a great companion to the simple, but hilariously sweet story Lola and Masetto, an engaged couple whose view on pre-marital sex differs drastically.
There is a usual Tinto Brass trademark humor; a priest making lover boy eyes at the buxom housewife, butt related poetry, a highly philosophical hooker, a spontaneous dancing number, and etc. Also, if you are familiar with Tinto's work and have an obvious question on your mind, the answer is yes. There are numerous close-ups of women's back sides, but Tinto has a strange talent of weaving those shots into the story perfectly.
All in all, "Monella" is a wonderful film from Tinto Brass, one of the most underrated directors of our time.IMDB Reviewer
