I think one of the movies I'm most looking forward to seeing has to be Madonna's directorial debut, "Filth and Wisdom". No because Madonna is directing it, although I do have the utmost respect for her and her amazing career, but at first glance, because it starrs Eugene Hutz, the lead singer from Gogol Bordello, one of my favourite musical projects. When I first came across the movie trailer, I thought to myself "Whatever has Eugene Hutz in a leading role has to be bloody fantastic!". And by the looks of it, it shall be bloody fantastic! By the way, it appears that the film was in the Berlin Festival's Official Selection. That HAS to be good, right?
In short, according to IFC Entertainment , "FILTH AND WISDOM, is a hilariously sexy tale of three roommates who must delve into mischievous and naughty behavior in pursuit of bigger and brighter futures. A Ukrainian immigrant, A.K. (Eugene Hutz), finances his dreams of 'trans-continental superstardom' with his band, Gogol Bordello, by turning tricks as a role-playing cross dresser. As A.K. literally whips the privileged of London into shape, he also secretly pines for the object of his affection, Holly (Holly Weston), an aspiring ballerina looking for her big break while moonlighting as a slippery stripper. Meanwhile, Juliette (Vicky Mclure) steals medicine from her pharmaceutical job in hopes of quenching her dreams of helping Africa's youth. FILTH AND WISDOM is every bit as erotic and playful as it is poignant and touching, revealing the universal struggles we all face in our pursuits of happiness. "
Film is praised by Hollywood Reporter, Variety and European-Films.net, but seems to be seriously underrated on IMDb.com, where user reviews are divided. Either they love it, or they hate it. Couldn't help but notice the poor user rating, but at the moment it is only based on 200-something votes, so I'm hoping that it will improve once the movie is released worldwide.
So, let's all wait for October the 17th, when the film launches in the US (or even later if you're living in Eastern Europe, like myself), watch it and then discuss it. Will it be everything it promises to be? I sure hope so, because the trailer promises a lot and darn, I hate to be disappointed!
In the meantime, enjoy the trailer:
