Key opinion
Capriccio is a polarizing addition to Tinto Brass’s filmography that prioritizes thematic exploration of complex relationships over traditional narrative structure. While some viewers appreciate its frank, ironic perspective on desire and marriage, others find the film thin and lacking in creative execution.
| Theme | The film acts as a definitive study of Brass’s signature preoccupation with non-traditional relationship dynamics, polygamy, and spousal honesty. | |
| Cinematography | The erotic sequences fail to land, described as dimly lit and lacking the visual creativity expected from the genre. | |
| Cinematography | Opinions on the visual quality are split: some find the cinematography beautiful and evocative, while others criticize it as technically thin and uninspired. |
