Swept Away [Region 2] description
Madonna gives her most believable performance as Amber, a rich woman on a sea cruise who expects the world to obey her every whim. She and a high-spirited crew member (Adriano Giannini) are marooned on a small deserted island; the feud that sprang up between the two on the ship becomes an all-out war, then transforms into lustful desire as Amber finds that losing status opens up a new side to herself. Some people will want to see Swept Away for the simple pleasure of seeing Madonna be slapped; more demanding filmgoers will, sadly, be left wanting. Though the movie purports to be a satirical examination of capitalism (as was the original 1974 version), its vague discussion of money and power adds up to very little. The love story is surprisingly sincere, making Swept Away a standard romantic potboiler with gorgeous tropical backdrops. --Bret Fetzer |

Don't let The madonna defenders fool you!
|
| Wow, 30 plus Madonna fans all showed up and lied to themselves by giving this five underachieved stars. this deserves zero!Atrocious acting and ponderous direction. It does absolutely no justice to the original by Lina Wertmuller but then that film is a one of a kind gem of 70's foreign art house film.. Guy Ritchie should never have cast Madonna and as untalented as she is, here it's painful and pitiful. She looks an exercise junkie and very haggard. Why no oner told her to bow out is beyond me. My friend,Madonna fan, bought this and we could not believe how long it was! Sophia Loren a long time associate of Lina's , called this 'the worst film I have ever seen.' |
