Madonna is reportedly eager to establish herself as a film director now that her marriage to Guy Ritchie has ended.

The popstar's estranged brother Christopher Ciccone said on Five documentary Madonna & Guy: Where Did It All Go Wrong?: "Apparently she wants to be directing and that's what she'll be doing. Two directors in the family is never going to work."

Ciccone confessed that he has yet to see Madonna and Ritchie's critically-panned movie Swept Away and will continue to avoid it.

"I couldn't believe she made a movie with him, it was a really dumb," he said. "It's down there in my list of movies not to see."

Madonna's directorial debut Filth And Wisdom was released last month in the US.
