2017 French, German, Italian and Slavic Film Festival: Sex and Power in International Cinema
 
Class warfare and sexual abuse hit the high seas in this award winning 1974 Italian film. A wealthy and arrogant woman's vacation on a yacht in the Mediterranean Sea takes a sudden, unexpected turn. During a day trip with a crew member, the two are left stranded on a deserted island. The woman's capitalist beliefs and the man's communist convictions clash, but during their struggle to survive, their social roles are reversed. Swept Away received the 1975 National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Award for Top Foreign Film. In 2002, Guy Ritchie’s remake of Swept Away, starring Madonna, was released.
