Review by Rada Djurica

Madonna's directing debut, Filth and Wisdom, illustrates the philosophy of Western success: "to go up you must go down first." This is a cute little comedy/drama about bohemians struggling to become someone. Everything in this film centers on the witty dialogue, which might be Madonna's attempt to show how well she learned British slang during her prolonged stay in the UK and her marriage to an English man, Guy Ritchie.
