Posted in: Cinema

Forget the Madonna remake - this original film by the great Italian director Lina Wertmuller is a must-see. On an elegant yacht cruising in the Mediterranean Sea, rich capitalist Rafaella enjoys tormenting Gennarino, a Communist sailor. But when they are stranded on a deserted island, she must submit to him for survival, which leads to a dramatic climax. Italian comedy at its finest. The Valley Film Society of SVSU. Screenings held in room Curtiss 100, in Groening Commons across from the Performing Arts Theaters at 7:30 PM. $6.00 two admissions.
