Witty, urbane and provocative, Lina Wertmüller’s films never let the viewer rest. Darkly funny, her scenarios also call the human animal to account for its weaknesses. Like a bull running rampant in a china shop of political hypocrisies and shifting sexual mores, she really seems to enjoy knocking the whole inventory of ideas over and starting fresh. Today, her humor and directorial brilliance are finding new audiences everywhere. We are happy to present a selection of some of her best films. All new digital restorations.
