Lina Wertmüller, a central figure of Italian cinema and the first woman to be nominated for an Academy Award in the best director category, died this week, Italy's Ministry of Culture confirmed.
She was 93, according to Variety. Wertmüller made films that were both debased and staunch in their moral standing, condemned and adored, with pitch-black endings preceded by comedic beats. The director with the white-rimmed specs was known for a style and substance that demanded colorful descriptors -- like, "grotesque poetry." "Opaque, despairing, bottomless." Just plain "vulgar" and"deforming." The last two came from Wertmüller herself.
