Kino Classics Lina Wertmuller Collection (Love & Anarchy, The Seduction of Mimi, All Screwed Up) (3-Disc Set) [Blu-ray]



Early Wertmuller never looked better.
The Seduction of Mimi and Love & Anarchy were released as single DVDs in the past with poor visual quality. I owned those DVDs and never realized how bad a job those transfers were done until I bought this set. The picture is pristine for both movies at long last and that goes for All Screwed Up as well (which was not out on DVD prior to this set).

These movies are real classics. The Seduction of Mimi was even remade in Hollywood with Richard Pryor as Which Way Is Up?. The Seduction of Mimi and Love & Anarchy also start the collaboration between Wertmuller and her leading man Giancarlo Giannini. The two went on to make five films together and these are the first two (the others are Swept Away, Seven Beauties and...

Other Wertmuller?
Where are editions of SOTTO, SOTTO and A JOKE OF DESTINY, two Wertmuller classics, on DVD? SOTTO,SOTTO seems to have been written for Gianini. Unfortunately he must have not been available, but the movie works wonderfully anyway.
