Nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Director, Best Actor and Best Foreign Language Picture, Seven Beauties (1975) stars Giancarlo Giannini (Swept Away) as Pasqualino Frafuso, known in Naples as "Pasqualino Seven Beauties." A petty thief who lives off the profits of his seven sisters while claiming to protect their honor at any cost, Pasqualino is arrested for murder and later sent to fight in the army after committing sexual assault. Something of a tool, and a tool of history, he is captured by the Germans and sent to a concentration camp, where he plots to make his escape by seducing a German officer. Outrageously funny and harrowingly sad, it is one of Lina Wertmuller's most enduring and haunting works. Review: "Quite simply my favourite movie, period. From the world-weary opening montage to the jaw-dropping scene of Pasqualino and the mirror at the end, an astonishing work of art. Here is the human condition, filthy and beautiful and brutal and gentle. This movie is at once very funny and darkly tragic. Giancarlo’s eyes are eloquent beyond all measure. Throughout, his character makes horrible, indefensible decisions and yet it is the brilliant achievement of this film and Lina Wertmuller that we cannot be sure that we would not make the same choices. Sex, love, politics, death, and arguably the best insane asylum assault scene ever: it’s all here. Even the music is perfect. I am a cinephile and love Ozu and “Casablanca” and “Blue Velvet” and dozens of other wonderful movies. This is the best."
