SWEPT AWAY
On an elegant yacht cruising off the coast of

and stunning capitalist, enjoys tormenting
Gennarino (Giancarlo Giannini), a Communist
sailor. Fate weaves a different scenario and roles

stranded together on a deserted island. SWEPT
AWAY is Wertmüller’s most famous and controversial film about sex, love and politics.

SEVEN BEAUTIES

In the dazzling court of 18th century Naples,
against their wishes, young King Ferdinando

the senses.
