If you loved Swept Away, try Seven Beauties

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Lina Wertmüller, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Swept Away, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

foreign gem

What Seven Beauties is

Pasqualino lives off his sisters. He is sent to fight and captured by Germans. This dark comedy barely keeps a straight face.
