“MIRANDA is better than THE KEY both on a cinematographic level and from the point of view of the eroticism…” Tinto Brass

Tinto Brass’s complete Director’s Edit of Miranda finally receives the lavish release it deserves - presented for the first time in Full HD 1080p, uncut and remastered from restored materials, showing the film exactly as the Maestro intended, sharing his fantasies with us.

This is the film that crowned Brass the “Maestro of Erotic Cinema.” Here, the director transforms desire into design, fusing art, wit, and liberation into images of unforgettable beauty. With Miranda, Tinto Brass reaches the height of his artistry. Inspired by Carlo Goldoni’s play La Locandiera (The Innkeeper), this luminous adaptation reimagines the playwright’s comedy of manners as a sumptuous celebration of pleasure and freedom. It also crowned its radiant star, Serena Grandi, as the “Sexiest Woman in Italy.”

Within her tavern, Miranda reigns like a goddess of appetite - playful, commanding, and impossibly magnetic - as she toys with the men who seek to claim her. Brass films her with painterly precision: the rich glow of candlelight, the sheen of silk, the laughter that slips into sighs. Each scene unfurls like a sensual dance between art and flesh - erotic yet elegant, indulgent yet intelligent. Miranda stands as Brass’s masterwork, a visual symphony of desire elevated to art. In his hands, the erotic becomes not scandal but celebration - a declaration of joy, freedom, female autonomy, and the eternal allure of the feminine spirit.

Reviews ‘Miranda is an erotic film in the first degree’ - Plume Noire

‘Fascinating piece of 80s Italian pop culture that blends high-art cinematography with low-brow sensibilities’ Cult Film Review

‘The star Serena Grandi (Miranda) embodies the Brassian ideal. Mid-thirties, voluptuous, abundant She moves through the frame with animal confidence, meeting the camera’s intrusive gaze with amused complicity. The willingness to be endlessly observed. Her Miranda wields her body as instrument of agency, negotiating desire on her own terms. She transcends mere objectification through sheer charisma and comfort with her own flesh’. Letterboxd

Nobody does it like Tinto Brass ! this is an erotic masterpiece !

legendary director Federico Fellini reportedly cited Miranda as one of his favourite films, praising its aesthetic and the performance of lead actress Serena Grandi.
