Monamour (2005)

At the advice of her friend Sylvia (Nela Lucic), Marta seeks an affair with Leon, hoping that jealousy will rekindle her husband's lust. Leon turns out to be a bit of a pervert, but the weirder the sex becomes, the more Marta loves it.

This is a pretty typical Brass production, with some very lush cinematography (by Andrea Doria) and lots of zoom-ins on naked female derrieres. Marta wears skimpy, loose-fitting clothes wherever she goes, and they're always falling off. She gets naked and has sex any chance she gets.

One thing I like about Brass' women, however, is that they're the opposite of chiseled, tattooed, hardbody American porn stars; Brass' women are soft and sensual, the Russian-born Jimskaia included. However, the story here is incredibly shallow, a tad insulting, and more than just a little on the cruel side.

As always, Cult Epics released this film on DVD. It comes with a making-of featurette, a teaser for a new Brass film, and a trailer for Radley Metzger's Score (1974).

In 2011, Cult Epics added the film to Blu-Ray, which highlights the very lush cinematography. Extras are the same, but this edition includes a bonus disc with a new 16-minute short film, Kick the Cock, starring Brass himself as a lascivious old man ogling his half-naked kitchen maid. This disc comes with a making-of featurette, a trailer, footage of Brass at the Venice Film Festival, and other stuff.
