A brilliant, uncompromising artist, Wertmüller broke new ground for female directors and left a legacy of great, scathing, hilarious films about the hypocrisy of post-war Italian society that manage to resonate around the globe. Seven Beauties was a game changer, I adore all of her collaborations with Giancarlo Giannini, and I hope the two are happily reunited in the afterlife - Oh, yeah.
