March 8: "Swept Away" (Italy, 1974, 116 minutes, directed by Lina Wertmuller). Director and screenwriter Lina Wertmuller sets up a dialectic between a wealthy right-wing socialite and one of the crewmen on her yacht, a true-red communist. Fate sweeps them away from all the conventional moorings of life and shipwrecks them on an uninhabited island.  Verbal and physical battles exercise their beliefs and emotions as they struggle to survive. Rated R for sexual situations, nudity, violence and language.
