Swept Away by Lina Wertmuller, 1974

Blending the classic pastoral myth of the state of nature with a modern tale of strife between social classes, Wertmuller presents an intense and rich story imbued with cultural, sexist and racist stereotypes and realities.

Mariangela Melato and Giancarlo Giannini are the main characters of this exhuberant and photographically brillant movie.
