7/10
The 5th bold comment about Stefania Sandrelli's beauty at various ages

Here you may see very well why some of us love Stefania Sandrelli—especially when she was young, her face had a special finesse—something exquisite and refined , she was such a delightful babe. In … her face still had that touch, that brim of enchanting youthful finesse.

Desideria: La vita Interiore (1980) ends the '70s, discretely, on a middle note.

Much of the '70s Italian cinema is, implicitly at least, a hedonist one, a firm, decided _enouncing of the pleasure.

Hedonic cinema, uttering of a pure, undiluted pleasure, often on the verge of orgasm, and, of course, variously illustrated with more or less brio and flair by different directors and actors. And what's defining it's this—pleasure was the premise. They started from a background of orgasms. Stefania was as good a babe as any for this kind of things; later, Brass brought a grimmer note. As a matter of fact, the '80s were generally grimmer and angrier, grittier.

In the '70s Stefania fooled around quite a lot. Amazing the people with her shapes—in The Conformist, Black Belly of the Tarantula, Where Are You Going on Holiday? ….Yet more, the babe was moving fast--The Conformist, where she's a rounded woman, is made one year after L'Amante Di Gramigna, where she still had that exquisite and lean childish shapes. And she undressed bravely.

In DESIDERIA, end of the '70s, she's energetically pumped from behind; see that scene, at least. It's a scene of debauchery.
