	MovieMaker Magazine \| Issue #9 \| Lina Wertmüller: Not Missing, Just Misinterpreted (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		To Pauline Kael, Lina Wertmüller is a misogynist and a misanthrope who revels in the disgusting.
		Lina Wertmüller, now a very energetic 65, still donning her signature white-framed glasses, still full of opinions on every subject, expresses mild perplexity at the perception in America that she is no longer working - an attitude stated most succinctly by Variety in a recent write-up of her in their "Missing Persons" column.
		In an interview published before principal photography on Seven Beauties began, Wertmüller promised that the film would raise the question, "Is life worth living?" While she won't spell out the answer now, and probably never has, her attitude would seem to indicate that her answer to that question is a qualified maybe.

		Reasoning that she cannot leave her naive and impressionable cousin at a house of ill repute, Salomè convinces Spatoletti to bring Tonino and a fellow prostitute called Tripolina (Lina Polito) to the remote villa.
		However, as the appointed hour of destiny with Mussolini approaches, the hapless and lovestruck Tonino soon finds himself struggling to retain his focus and determination to carry out Sgaravento's final mission.
		Lina Wertmüller creates an audacious, darkly comic, and incisive portrait of humanity, compassion, and loyalty in Love and Anarchy.

		The daughter of an aristocratic Swiss family, Lina Wertmuller harbored dreams of becoming a lawyer, but this notion fell by the wayside when she entered the Academy of Theatre in Rome in 1947.
		Thanks to a few valuable connections--one of her school chums was the wife of actor Marcello Mastroianni--Wertmuller found work as a performer/writer with Maria Signorelli's Puppet Troupe.
		Undaunted, she continued making films for the European market, enjoying a brief resurgence of critical approval with one of her most atypical films, Ciao Professore (1994).

	Theology Today - Vol 34, No. 4 - January 1978 - CRITIC'S CORNER - Lina Wertmüller
		But now Lina Wertmüller, a "reel" revolutionary, is interested in exploring how the mechanisms of social change operate in the lives of ordinary people.
		In the Seduction of Mimi and Love and Anarchy, Lina Wertmüller seems to be saying that the acids of modernity are eating away the foundations of Catholic rural Italy, that somehow the acquisitive spirit and individual incentives must find a modus vivendi.
		Lina Wertmüller has found new ground-a fascinating "outlaw" area where no previous director has ever been.

	Amazon.com: Seven Beauties (1976): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Wertmüller is more indulgent in highbrow sadomasochism than she is real profundity, but there's no denying that the film is powerful in its story of subjugation and survival.
		It's not much of a stretch-- Lina Wertmuller learned all of her writing-directing chops as an assistant to her master (Fredrico Fellini).
		Hell, Lina was 2nd director on such masterpieces as "8 1/2" and "Juliet of the Spirits".

	Amazon.ca: DVD: Seven Beauties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lina Wertmüller's harrowing 1976 film stars Giancarlo Giannini as a petty crook with seven unattractive sisters to support, and it features a picaresque, World War II-era journey through a prison asylum, army service, and a Nazi concentration camp.
		Lina Wertmuller is a great director and she tells his multi-layered story in a very unique and beautiful way.
		The film has some horrific moments and the situations are not at all pretty; a man committing suicide by jumping into a vat of excrement, Pasqualono chopping up a corpse and making submissive love to a disgusting concentration camp commander.

		Of Swiss heritage, she is the product of Federico Wertmüller and Maria Santa Maria Wertmüller, a horribly mismatched couple who lived "a hell of a life," and split up after fifty years of marriage.
		Wertmüller (who somewhere along the lines grew tired of her lengthy name and shortened it to "Lina") had a discipline problem as a child and was supposedly thrown out of fifteen Roman Catholic schools.
		She was reared in an anti-Fascist household and can recall a time in her childhood during which her parents "hid a family of Jews for five months."

		Overall it's not a bad movie, but definitely falls short from Lina W.'s other masterpieces, such as Seven Beauties.
		I've found this film interesting at the beginning, but it looses that special Lina's steam toward the end.
		And the message of this film is rather unclear - it's not a comedy and it's not a piercing tragedy as in Seven Beauties.

		The story is told in a series of flashbacks running through the mind of Ferdinand on his death bed in 1825, after Napoleon had come and gone and after Carolina had died.
		Like everything that Wertmueller does, Ferdinando e Carolina has that bit of Fellini and Zeffirelli about it, such that if you freeze almost any frame in the 102–minute running time, you have a frameable portrait, so perfect are the sets, costumes and choreography.
		Wertmueller points out that the shots of the inside of what was supposed to be the Bourbon Royal Palace were actually shot in the Savoy palace in Turin—a bit of "revenge" she says.
