Filth & Wisdom, Madonna's debut as a film director, recently premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. The reviews have actually been not that bad, and the singer is, in her own words, "Chuffed, as they say!" Madonna is really one of my favorite British people. The bizarre, off-putting Gypsy punk Eugene Hutz is the star of the film, which, to quote Madge again, "is about two things: the duality of life and it's also about the struggle with that duality." Watch a video here of Madonna, looking exhausted and vaguely sad, talking about the film. Hutz, who seems to have just wandered out of a Brecht play, pops up too, playing a little ditty of revolution. (Also note that one of the related clips is, ominously, from the Russian silent film about people dying, Battleship Potemkin. Mental!) After the jump, a clip from Madonna's most recent film disaster, Swept Away.
