The foundation for what would become known as the Brass aesthetic is evident here. Miranda, a beautiful woman recently widowed, manages an inn situated in the Po River valley during the 1950s. Having lost her husband in the war, she chooses not to enter into any serious relationships but instead decides to explore her sexuality openly. Over the course of the four seasons, Miranda engages with four different men—a devoted young employee at the inn, a prosperous older diplomat, a youthful truck driver, and an enthusiastic former boxer—each embodying distinct characteristics. As they try to gain her affection through their individual approaches, she carefully evaluates them, considering how well they align with her goals of independence, enjoyment, and financial security. Rather than depicting what could have been a somber story about the aftermath of war, Tinto Brass presents sexuality in a playful manner, emphasizing pleasure and humor. "Miranda" is characteristic of Tinto Brass’s work: it features bright colors, lush cinematography, and those signature shots highlighting Serena Grandi's alluring figure. She delivers an unforgettable performance with both a striking physical presence and captivating storytelling ability.
