Directed by Guy Ritchie • 2002 • United Kingdom, Italy
Starring Madonna, Adriano Giannini, Bruce Greenwood
Madonna’s often-controversial acting career continued to divide with this remake of Lina Wertmuller’s deliciously controversial 1975 Italian comedy—a story of love, sex, and too much money set against the backdrop of a spectacular Mediterranean island paradise. The singer-star plays the rich, spoiled socialite who, alongside a handsome Italian fisherman (Adriano Giannini), finds herself stranded on a deserted island where matters of material wealth and class disparity are meaningless. In their struggle to survive, the pair soon discover that their dramatic differences are suddenly the source of a fierce, passionate, and sometimes hilarious animal attraction.
