Kino Lorber gets SWEPT AWAY (review)

Lina Wertmuller's scandalous take on gender politics SWEPT AWAY gets a brand new restoration.  When a spoiled socialite (Mariangela Melato) and an angry communist (Giancarlo Giannini) are shipwrecked on a deserted island during a yachting expedition, sparks and fists fly in a struggle for psychological and sexual dominance.
