Description

Nominated for four Academy Awards® including Best Director, Seven Beauties
(1975) stars Giancarlo Giannini (Swept Away) as Pasqualino Frafuso, known in
Naples as “Pasqualino Seven Beauties.” A petty thief who lives off the profits of
his seven sisters while claiming to protect their honor at any cost, Pasqualino is
arrested for murder and later sent to fight in the army after committing sexual
assault. Something of a tool, and a tool of history, he is captured by the Germans
and sent to a concentration camp, where he plots to make his escape by seducing a
German officer. Outrageously funny and harrowingly sad, it is one of Lina
Wertmu¨ller’s most enduring and haunting works.
