On July 5 2010, principal photography on W.E., Madonna’s directorial feature debut began in the UK.
Madonna had this to say about her decision to direct W.E.:
“I directed Filth & Wisdom to teach myself about filmmaking… and now, with this self-punishing process of being a producer and a writer and a director, I’m taking the next step.”
Today In Madonna History 
What W/E did yield for Madonna was brilliant and beautiful ballad Masterpiece-because of this song-Madonna will always be a rare and priceless work of art!
