Madonna: Ghost Of Her Former Self
I pay more attention to Madonna’s music (and her upcoming Super Bowl appearance) and missed the fact that Missy didn’t just direct “W.E.” She appears in it, too. According to the Guardian: ‘One of the daffiest aspects of “W.E.,” Madonna’s deeply daffy film about Wallis Simpson, is the way our heroine keeps popping up as a peculiarly soignée ghost. Clad in a little black dress and pearls, she dispenses fashion tips and lifestyle aperçus to her younger namesake, who’s having a bit of a breakdown that coincides with her Simpson-fixation, in 1990s Manhattan. Murmured words of spectral wisdom include: “Attractive, my dear, is a polite way of saying a woman’s made the most of what she’s got,” and, “The most important thing is your face. The other end you just sit on.’ What a silly thing to say: Men are every bit as interested in the pussy as in the puss.
