Madonna has announced that her new movie 'Filth & Wisdom' will bypass the cinema. She wants to take it straight to iTunes.
The material girl made her directorial debut with 'Filth & Wisdom'. It is about three struggling flatmates in London."I want the most people to see it as possible" she told Variety. "I don't do anything conventionally".
However, after the movie was screened at the Berlin Film Festival last week, the critics and film fans alike have been panning it. "All I can say is it's an insufferable mess," one critic wrote at IMDB.com. "Dreadful acting and a script so full of crass banalities that it almost collapses under its own dreadfulness.?One to miss".
He continues, "The Material One says she's thinking of releasing this on the internet - small wonder. I doubt there's a distributor anywhere that would touch this appalling car-crash of a movie. The music is quite fun, to be fair and there is a lot of it (probably because there's really not much else - perhaps she should think about directing a rockumentary next time). The dialogue is full of pretentious, meaningless attempts at 'insight'. Sadly, you'd get more insight looking at an unwashed pair of underpants".
Madonna's last major movie effort in a starring role was the disastrous 'Swept Away' in 2002. Her husband Guy Richie directed the film.
She also had a cameo in the Bond movie 'Die Another Day'.
