Tinto Brass: “Melons? Don’t whine for pink quotas but navigate with clear ideas”

“Giorgia Meloni is a unique woman in the history of Italy: instead of whining about the pink quotas she took the helm of a sinking ship and sails with clear ideas”. You don’t mince words with Tinto Brass, the master of Italian erotic cinema, to comment with AdnKronos on the beginning of the new government led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. “The left – notes Brass – has betrayed women. So I prefer to talk to Giorgia rather than Letta or Renzi, perhaps because I prefer courage to ineptitude”. Today, the director points out, words like God, country and family return, “values ​​in the name of which all my films, 29 out of 30, have been censored. Fascism? It is not the right word. It is quite natural that movements reactionaries gain space in this moment of crisis. They are the best expression of the desperation of a people. But those who prefer to give space to identity politics rather than welcome differences can provoke enormous violence and be overwhelmed. We know how it ends, they are the dynamics of power but for this we have to wait a bit “. As for the new dicasteries, “scrolling through the list I read that there is the Ministry of the Family, Birth Rate and Equal Opportunities … but dear Giorgia – says Brass ironically – no bonuses or vouchers are needed to encourage the birth rate: the evening is enough show my erotic films in all Italian cinemas with free admission “.
