A film still from 'Deadly Sweet' featuring actors Jean-Louis Trintignant and Ewa Aulin in a dramatic scene.
  • The cult classic “Deadly Sweet” is back!
  • It’s pre-opening the Venice Film Festival.
  • A super sharp 4K version is coming.

You won’t believe what just landed on our desks! The Venice Film Festival, one of the biggest movie parties in the world, is kicking things off with a major blast from the past. We’re talking about a freshly restored version of Tinto Brass’s cult classic, “Deadly Sweet.” Yes, that Tinto Brass!

This isn’t just any old movie screening. It’s the world premiere of a completely new, digital 4K version. Think super clear visuals, every detail popping! Rome’s Centro has worked hard to bring this 1967 film back to life.

Picture this: Jean-Louis Trintignant and Sweden’s Ewa Aulin starring in a film from an Italian softcore erotic movies maestro. The restoration means we’ll get to see the film’s original vibe, its unique visual style, perhaps those retro 60s color palettes, exactly as intended. It’s like stepping into a time machine with perfect vision.

Our Take

This news is just awesome for movie buffs, isn’t it? It’s always cool when a classic film gets a new lease on life, especially one directed by someone as iconic as Tinto Brass. We’re totally here for old films being lovingly restored and shared with a new generation. Bravo, Venice!
