February 16, 2008 -- THE reviews are in on "Filth and Wisdom" - which Madonna wrote, directed and executive-produced - and the consensus is that it isn't much better than the turkeys she merely appeared in, "Shanghai Express," "Body of Evidence," "Dick Tracy" and "Swept Away." Variety found the film "ineptly written . . . poorly structured and cheese-ripe with chunky dialogue." Britain's Guardian called the script a "nightmare of crass and fatuous stereotypes." The Evening Standard said, "Madonna has far to go before she can breathe the same air as Godard, Pasolini, Fellini and Visconti, whom she insists she admires in a director's statement in which two of the four are misspelt." The plot involves three London apartment-mates, including a ballerina forced to pole dance, and a musician who dominates masochistic perverts for a living. At the movie's premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, Madonna kept repeating in her bizarre British accent that the picture is about "duality."
Madonna is living proof that professional prostitutes can earn one helluva living. She cannot act, write, or direct, but is given the opportunity time and again because she is liberal America's very own little whore.
