Madonna is anything but a quitter. Despite savaging reviews her entire life for her failed acting career, the 85-year-old pop star (pictured left) is still trying to find her big break in movies.
Not even the still-shit rotten taste of “Swept Away,” has deterred her, though this time she’s wisely changing her position and moving behind the camera.
Madge’s directorial debut, “Filth And Wisdom,” is set for its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February. Described as a “low-budget music comedy,” the film stars Richard E. Grant (“How To Get Ahead In Advertising“), Stephen Graham (Guy Ritchie’s “Snatch”) and her new bff, the gypsy punk Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hutz.
Hutz got his acting start in the in Liev Schreiber’s tediousadaptation of the book, “Everything Is Illuminated” and shared the stage with Madonna at “Live Earth” (Hutz was also the inspiration for one of the characters in the suicide after-life comedy “Wristcutters”).
50 other films will screen in competition at Berlin. Good luck Madge!
