	Lina Wertmuller - Films as director and writer:, Other films:
		By the mid-1970s, Lina Wertmuller had directed a series of sharply observed (though, in retrospect, markedly uneven) features which brought her international fame and made her one of the shining lights of European cinema.
		Wertmuller's films most characteristically focus on the eternal battle between the sexes, fought with noisy screaming matches and comical seductions in a class warfare setting.
		Wertmuller's women, on the other hand, are not politically aware, and are uninterested in struggling for self-sufficiency.

		While each of the five films is housed in a separate slimline case that fits into a larger cardboard slipcover, The Lina Wertmüller Collection's extras come on their own likewise-packaged supplemental disc.
		The Lina Wertmüller Collection is a solid release for aficionados of international cinema.
		While there are a few qualms with the audio offerings on specific releases, there's nothing that mortally wounds the presentation of any film, and the sit-down interview with the writer-director serves as a perfect, correspondence course capper to one's filmic education at the hands of these generally engrossing films.

		His association with Wertmuller dates back to 1965, when he appeared in her Theatre Academy stage production 2 Plus 2 is No Longer Four.
		Three years later, he earned an Oscar nomination for his work in Wertmuller's Seven Beauties (1976) as a concentration camp inmate who'll do anything to survive--including submitting to the kinky fantasies of the grotesquely unlovely female camp supervisor.
		While his appearances in other director's films are seldom as memorable as his pairings with Wertmuller, Giancarlo Giannini has worked harmoniously with filmmakers as diverse as Visconti, Fassbinder and Coppola.

	Lina Wertmüller Seven Beauties Pasqualino Settebellezze Lina Wertmüller Seven Beauties Pasqualino Settebellezze
		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.
		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.
		As already reported throughout the web, this is the same feature presentation that can be found in the The Lina Wertmuller Collection (Summer Night / The Nymph / Swept Away / Seven Beauties / Ferdinando and Carolina).

	Watching Lina Wertmuller
		LIKE many members of Lina Wertmuller's American audience, I saw Love and Anarchy before seeing any of her other films, though it wasn't the first film she'd made.
		I remember coming away from Love and Anarchy feeling both impressed by the obvious talent at work in it and vaguely troubled by the sensibility that the film seemed flickeringly to reveal.
