Before W.E. There was filth and wisdom, Madonna first film as a director and a writer. It starred Eugene Hütz, Holly Weston, Vicky McClure and Richard E. Grant. It was filmed on in London. The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival on February 13, 2008 which was attended by Madonna and cast members Hütz, Weston and McClure. It only gained a few good reviews including one from The Times.

 

The film was about a Ukrainian immigrant named A.K. (Hütz) who finances his dreams of rock glory by moonlighting as a cross-dressing dominatrix and his two female flatmates: Holly (Weston), a ballet dancer who works as a stripper and pole-dancer at a local club and Juliette (McClure), a pharmacy assistant who dreams of going to Africa to help starving children.

 

The Gypsy punk band that appears in the film is portrayed by real-life Gypsy punk band, Gogol Bordello, who also contributed three songs to the film's soundtrack. The band's lead singer, Eugene Hütz, portrays the main character — a character with a philosophical attitude towards life. Madonna allowed additional dialogue written by Hütz himself to be included in the film.

 

The film was released on dvd in a few places (hopefully more when W.E. is released on dvd).

 

So would this be something you would go to see at the cinema or buy the dvd?.
