In this collection of three stories, an emotionally abused
wife finds comfort in the arms of her brother-in-law, a young
dancer undertakes an erotic and redemptive pilgrimage to Rome
involving live sex shows and nude photography, and a femme
fatale looks into a mirror as she recalls a sadomasochistic
love affair...
Try
imagining an erotic version of Alfred Hitchcock Presents,
and you'll have some idea of what this DVD series is like.
Only less well made. Producer Tinto Brass has little direct
involvement with these short films, apart from introducing
each one while puffing away characteristically on a cigar,
and making the occasional cameo appearance.
Though
the productions claim to have been directed in the "Tinto
Brass style", there is scant evidence of it here. Only in
A Magic Mirror is there any hint of Brass's eccentricity,
in the grotesque character of a brusque layabout husband (Ronaldo
Ravello), who spends much of his screen time lounging around
in a bath, like the captain of the B-Ark in The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy. But, although this tale displays
the most humour in the entire collection, it also shows off
the least amount of bare flesh, which is surely another important
ingredient that the audience will be expecting.
Things
get sexier in Julia, the story from which this collection
takes its name, which includes some particularly explicit
and highly charged sex scenes. Unfortunately, the plot is
almost totally incomprehensible - something to do with a dancer
(Anna Biella) going to Rome, but wildly at odds with the description
on the back of the sleeve, which mentions a photographer's
three beautiful models. I counted two of them at the most.
This production is also blighted by amateurish editing, which
leaves several gaping holes in the soundtrack. Oh well, at
least this DVD is subtitled, which spares us from woeful English
dubbing of the type recently heard on Brass's Private.
The
final tale, I Am the Way You Want Me, is a very weird
and nasty little minx. In it, a naked woman (Fiorella Rubino)
sprawls around in her bathroom, mouthing various strange utterances
to camera, and doing erotic things to herself, such as shaving
with a fearsome-looking cutthroat razor (shudder). And that's
about it.
A
further disappointment is the lack of any extra features.
So, all in all, this DVD has left me feeling rather brassed
off!

The fascination with this file mirrors the "Shock Site" culture of the mid-2000s. It functions as a digital campfire story . The "essay" of its existence is written through forum posts and YouTube "iceberg" videos rather than cinematic frames. Users claim to have seen it, describing grainy footage and unsettling audio, which creates a Mandela Effect where the community collectively "remembers" a video that likely never existed.
In reality, files with names like "Russian Girl (2).wmv" were frequently used as Trojan horses . During the height of P2P sharing, malicious actors used sensationalist or "taboo" titles to trick users into downloading malware. The "horror" associated with the file is often a literal one: the destruction of a user's operating system rather than a supernatural event. Russian Girl (2) wmv
Today, the file serves as a case study in Lost Media archeology . It represents the era of the "Deep Web" before it was commercialized—a time when the internet felt like a vast, unregulated frontier where anything could be hidden in a .wmv file. Whether it was a genuine piece of disturbing media or simply a clever piece of viral fiction, its legacy remains a testament to the internet's obsession with the macabre and the unseen.

The title "Russian Girl (2).wmv" follows a specific naming convention common in the early 2000s peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing era (think Limewire or Kazaa). Its power lies in its vague provocativeness ; it suggests a sequel to something unknown, packaged in an outdated video format. In the world of internet mysteries, this file is often described as a "snuff" film or a deeply disturbing psychological experiment, though no evidence of its existence as described has ever been verified by credible researchers.
