Madonna in the Director's Chair

Madonna debuts her film “Filth and Wisdom” at the Berlin International Film Festival.
The last time Madonna came to the Berlin International Film Festival, she hid under a raincoat; but this time, she was out in full view for her directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom.
Reporters lined up for an hour outside the pressroom, then waited another hour inside to catch a glimpse of Madonna and the documentary's stars, Gogol Bordello's Eugene Hutz and the British actresses Holly Weston and Vicky McClure.
Madonna says she can still feel the struggle of her early years as if it were yesterday. Therefore, she added, it was easier to identify with the struggling characters in her film.
When asked if she had sought advice in making the film, Madonna stated: "I did get advice from people I admire, but opinions are like assholes. No, that's my joke. At the end of the day, you have to take all of your advice and throw it out and make it your own journey."
"The movie is about two things," she added. "The duality of life and the struggle with that duality. I was trying to say you can find enlightenment in either filth or wisdom."
