A quadruple threat to good taste, that is.  ZING!  According to RollingStone.com:

"Madonna’s directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, premiered at the Berlin Film Festival yesterday. She said 'moments of struggle' early in her career helped her identify with those themes in the movie."

Huh.  So I'm guessing the movie involves a lot of aspiring singers blowing producers all the way to the top?  Early reviews are...well, let's just say less than glowing.  Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian writes,

"She has made a movie so incredibly bad that Berlin festivalgoers were staggering around yesterday in a state of clinical shock, deathly pale and mewing like maltreated kittens. She is also the producer and co-author of the script. If she'd done the location catering as well, they'd have had a Jonestown situation on their hands."

Yikes.
