When free-spirited beauty Carla (Yuliya Mayarchuk) moves to London, her search for a flat leads to a lesbian seduction by estate agent Moira (Francesca Nunzi), much to the horror of Carla’s boyfriend Matteo (Jarno Berardi) still stuck in their native Venice. And then he discovers a cache of letters from an ex-boyfriend, accompanied by a highly revealing and very public photograph of her… Ravishingly shot in two of the world’s great cities, bouncily scored by Pino Donaggio, and crammed with wall-to-wall nudity and casual sexual flings, Cheeky is as lighthearted as its title suggests, but it’s subtler and more philosophical than the average sex romp. In particular, it’s a genuinely moving look at problems arising when a desire to remain scrupulously faithful collides with the lure of baser instincts. Carla genuinely loves Matteo, but how can she reassure him when he spots temptation around every corner? Bonus Features: High Definition Blu-ray and Standard Definition DVD presentation of the film uncut and in widescreen for the first time! Optional English and Italian audio Newly translated English subtitles for the Italian audio Featurette on the film with director Tinto Brass Original Trailer Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly designed artwork by The Red Dress Collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by critic and author Maitland McDonagh, illustrated with original archive stills.
