A movie by one of the roost controversial directors to
day, Una Y7crtmu2ers The Seduction oflZml, is the last
Foreign FHm offering tills season. It will be screened at
Sheldon Film Theater at 7 and 9:15 pjn. Tuesday
through Thursday.
V7ertrauIIer has been compared by some critics to
FcHiai, Bergman, and even Stendhal and Proust. Oa the
other hand, she's been called a msogymst in feminist
clothing, a hypocrite, an opportisnct.
The Seduction of Mind is fairly typical Wertmuller: the
themes axe politics and sexual hypocrisy. Mimi teSs the
story of a worker caught between the i!afia and the Com
munists. , .......;. ..
Rlimi loses his job because he won't vote for the local
Mafioso running in the elections. At the same time, he is
too capitalistic to make a good Communist.
WertmuSer pokes fun at Mimi, his arrogance and his
childish sense of honor, and, on the surface, she seems to
ridicule his "typically Sicilian" sexual double standard.
But her own beliefs on this are more questionable.
She sets i-Iimi up with an independent, liberated mis
tress as an alternative to his foolish Sicilian wife. But
when Mimi finds out his wife is having an affair, he goes
crazy with revenge and plots to seduce his wife's lover's
wife. ;
la typical WertmoIIer style, the woman is ugly, middle
aged and obese. The whole seduction scene is outrageous,
as I'm sure Tertrnuller intended. Moreover, it is the sadis
tic humiliation of a character and seemingly, women in
general. VertrnuHer specializes in brutality to vulnerable
people, making it seem women are her chief target.
TertmuHer s farce is well done, except for her por
trayal of women. Ilzr fUms have an absorbing energy,
balance and humor. Her actors (Giancaxlo Gianruni, Elsna
Fiore and Mariangelo Melato) are first-rate. Technically,
her films cannot be faulted. If one can get past Tertrcul
ler' s personal beliefs and duplicity, her films are very good
and worth seeing.
