I've seen most of Tinto Brass's movies now. He's basically a one-trick pony, but he does that trick well enough that I keep looking for one of his movies that might be good. Black Angel isn't it. Typically, it contains a few erotic scenes and the attempt to create a background for these undermines any other value that the movie might possibly have had. The film's foreign title is Senso '45 and is based on the short story Senso, which you can read about online to find out the plot of this movie. There isn't any message here as far as I can tell except a nihilist one that leaves you thinking the characters are all either shallow and depraved or fools or both. Despite the costumes, there isn't any historical context or drama connected with the war. One extra star for Brass doing his one trick adequately.

I am a huge fan of this movie and of Tinto Brass. I love the way its filmed and it could of had more male nudity. I love Tinto Brass
