Filth and Wisdom is the first short film directed by Madonna. It is currently in post-production; filming was completed on May 29, 2007. The film is currently set for release in February 2008 at the Berlin Film Festival.[1]
Described as a comedy/drama/musical/romance, the story features a Russian immigrant, ballet school, lap dancing, cultural revolution, poetry, night club, punk rock band, book writer, dominatrix and gypsy.
The Gypsy punk band that appears in the film is portrayed by real-life Gypsy punk band, Gogol Bordello, who also contributed three songs to the film's soundtrack. The band's lead singer, Eugene Hütz, portrays the main character — a character with a philosophical attitude towards life. Madonna allowed additional dialogue written by Eugene himself to be included in the film. Additionally, Gogol Bordello performed "La Isla Bonita" with Madonna at the 2007 Live Earth benefit concert in London, United Kingdom.
Filming dates: May 14, 2007 - May 29, 2007
