    Swept away by Swept Away

    In a way this movie reminded me of storia di una donna (1970), dispite the true-to-life satire. Madonna was glamorous, as always, and yet quietly, humble as a sea after a violent storm.
    I would offer this movie to anyone addicted to love. It went beyond my expectations.........Guy Ritchie is a very talented director.
