A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The original title of this Italian film is "Ne Giuletta Ne Romeo" and is a better title and more indicative of what this film is all about. It centres on Rocco who is a teenager with a best friend in Maria – they are trying to lose their virginity to each other but things aren't quite coming to a head – as it were. He plays rugby at school but has attracted the unwanted attention of the school bully just at a time when a handsome but 'poetic' new lad starts school and Rocco has feelings that are not quite 'hetero' enough.Meanwhile his favourite pop star is outed and goes on a farewell tour. Rocco realises he has to see his idol and enlists the help of Maria and Mauri to get to the gig. Only his mum is after him – as he has come out and refused counselling – and his self declared fascist Gran is in cahoots with his mum and so begins the road trip of self discovery.This is a film I really enjoyed even though the theme of homophobia and coming out have been done many times before. This is funny and human and has great performances and a script that is kind to nigh on all the players – except the bully bloke – and it is also fresh and full of positivity. It is not a bedroom action fest either so do not watch for that type of thing. It is in Italian with good sub titles and a run time of 107 minutes – which flies by – this is one of those small indie films that should have gotten a lot more attention – recommended.
