On the tail of the recent divorce announcement of pop queen Madonna
and film director Guy Ritchie — following months of rumors
about her liaison with star Yankee third- baseman, A-Rod —
the Material Girl makes her directorial debut in the off-beat film "Filth and Wisdom"
that hits theaters across North America today.

========================
"Filth and Wisdom" is the story of three roommates who delve into the dark side of city life,
trying to make a name in London. The film boasts a jamboree of eclectic characters
turn social misfits; the pill-popping pharmacy assistant; a wannabe ballerina forced
through poverty to work at a lap-dancing club; and a Ukrainian punk-poet who earns
a few bob humiliating masochists while wearing ex-Soviet military garb in his ratty bedroom.
Following its premiere the film received promising reviews from the London Times saying;
"Madonna has done herself proud" and
"Her film has an artistic ambition that has simply bypassed her husband, the film director Guy Ritchie".
According to its distributor IFC Films,
"Filth and Wisdom is every bit as erotic and playful as it is poignant and touching,
revealing the universal struggles we all face in our pursuits of happiness."
