Interviewing Lina Wertmuller in her apartment in Rome was one of the highlights of my life. But it was hardly an easy interview. First off, I don’t speak any Italian and she speaks very little English. We had an interpreter, but that only interrupted the flow of the conversation. And when I brought up subjects that I thought would be interesting or provocative, she would just blow me off. This clip is a perfect example of her contrarian spirit.
Comments after the break…
Does anyone know the company who holds all video publishing rights to Lina Wertmuller films-especially “Swept Away…..”?
Most of the titles are available from Kino Lorber.
