Capriccio aka Love and Passion (1987)

Posted by CroakerBC

We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don't think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you're hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time. -- Art Buchwald

We do not remember days; we remember moments. ~Cesare Pavese, The Burning Brand

Isn't that true? Days go by and become blurred but the most beautiful moments remain clear and vivid in our mind (unless you're becoming senile), which allows us to occasionally take a trip down memory lane to relive some of our happiest moments. That brings us to El Maestro Tinto Brass's Capriccio. It's about this couple who returns to Italy after the war. Unhappy with their present sex life, they decide to seek out their former lovers, to reexperience some of those great orgasms. He hooks up with a whore and she returns to the arms of a pimp. What a couple!

But, like the poet George Santayana said, memory itself is an internal rumour. And we all know rumors aren't always true. The couple soon discovers that the affairs they are having are much less satisfying than what they remember. Ain't that a bitch? Why, just two months ago I saw one of my ex-flames again after 10 long years and well, the encounter left me saddened. To be honest though, I think the feeling was reciprocated.

Anyway, I find Capriccio to be among Tinto Bras's best works. It's less explicit than most but it's beautiful and well written. Highly recommended.
