I found a treasure trove of his erotic films on a free site called "Fawsome". This guy was/is a genius in presenting "not quite porn" that's free on streaming. Look for good photography, sets, beautiful naked white women and a story. "Paprika", starring Deborah Caprioglio is outstanding. He showed an understanding of the operations of European brothels in most of what he did. There are ample tits and hairy pussies in his films and he is solid on white asses.

erotic cinema​

After Salon Kitty (1976) and Caligula (1979), the style of his films gradually changed towards erotic films. Caligula was originally supposed to be a satire on power instead of an erotic film, but the producers changed and re-edited the film entirely without Brass's consent, removing many political and comical scenes, and shooting sexually explicit sequences, to make the film a pornographic drama. The director demanded that his name be stricken from the credits, and he is only credited for "Principal Photography".[11] Despite this, the film remains his most widely viewed work (and the highest-grossing Italian film released in the United States). Other notable works of Brass's later period include The Key (1983) and Senso '45 (2002). He was making films into his seventies.[12]
