The following two films also received positive reviews and were represented at the Locarno and Cannes festivals. Based on a script for Tinto Brass , Grimaldi shot Il macellaio (1998), which was scandalized because of its erotic scenes , the artistically failed La donna lupo and which the critics referred to as “porn about emancipation” from the following year, also a trilogy dedicated to Pier Paolo Pasolini ( Nerolio 1996, Rosa Funzeca 2002, Un mondo d'amore 2003). A children's film was also made, Iris (2000), which won an award at the Schlingen children's film festival . The costume film L'educazione sentimentale d'Eugénie from 2005 was again devoted to erotic themes . In 2010, L'ultimo re, his last movie to date, followed.

In addition to his cinematic activities, Grimaldi continued to publish novels. "The story of Enza" was published in German in 1993.
