Set against the backdrop of the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, Swept Away is Lina Wertmüller’s (Seven Beauties) wildly controversial film about sex, love and politics. On an elegant yacht cruising off the coast of Sardinia, Raffaella (Mariangela Melato), a rich and stunning capitalist, enjoys tormenting Gennarino (Giancarlo Giannini), a Communist sailor. Fate weaves a different scenario and roles become reversed when the two find themselves stranded together on a deserted island and Raffaella needs Gennarino’s survivalist skills in order to stay alive. Restored in 2024 from the original film negatives by the Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna, in collaboration with Minerva Pictures and Mediaset, carried out by L’Immagine Ritrovata.

Reviews

"...the lightest, most successful fusion of Miss Wertmuller's two favorite themes, sex and politics." 

"Wertmüller delivered the first girl power picture, and it's a stunning masterstroke of a movie."
