On the one hand, too explicit for mass consumption and on the other too coy, (no full frontals), for its intended audience so it's unlikely to find a market. With this movie I was able to get the full picture.

Antonio has a happy life with husband until one day he learns his husband didn't feel the same way. It reflects an Italy that is complex, contradictory, and evolving.

Why this matters at Istituto Italiano Scuola

At Istituto Italiano Scuola, we believe understanding Italian culture includes recognizing the voices often left out of mainstream narratives.

The pace was perfect, transitions of the scenes were natural. I get distracted and miss a lot of things because I missed reading something. It was not just about two guys separating after a long term relationship and one of them going through his "sl*t phase" after the divorce. It's obvious the attractive cast were picked for their looks and not their acting abilities though the screenplay does provide a few laugh-out-loud moments.

Needing shelter and income, he rents from Denis and works at Luca's bakery while studying pastry-making, regaining independence along the way.Antonio, a dependent househusband, faces upheaval when his spouse leaves.

It has some twists and turns and is always interesting to see how he will rekindle his groove. This could have been a relationship between a man and a woman, and the impact would have been same. It was a refreshing to see something so normal.

GAY MOVIES: ITALY

Italy, like France, UK, Spain and Germany, is one of the major nations that produces movies and TV series with primary or secondary gay content.

What little spare time he has he spends baking and looking for the perfect Mascarpone recipe until finally he realizes....

Well, that would be telling, wouldn't it. This movie would work as beautifully as a hetero one because of the way it was presented. From the conservative towns of Sicily to the progressive pockets of Milan, these stories are as diverse as Italy itself.

  • Gianni Amelio’s films explore working-class masculinity and sexual repression.

Meanwhile, filmmakers like Sebastiano Riso and Adele Tulli are expanding transgender representation, bringing depth and authenticity to a space long overlooked.

That's the beauty of this movie.

Every actor played their roles so naturally, it felt so normal, believable, be it Antonio's confusion, agony, sl*t phase, misery, Luca's flirting, jealousy, sadness or Denis with his flamboyant attitude but sensitive at the same time. "Mascarpone" is an Italian LGBTQ+ remake of "An Unmarried Woman", (well, perhaps not but we are in the same ballpark), as Antonio is dumped by his husband and partner of 12 years.

Thoroughly recommended.

A voyage of self-discovery

First off left me say that I almost never watch movies with subtitles. Not bad exactly, just a bit ho-hum.

An Unmarried Gay Man

Totally enjoyed this romp of a young gay man finding himself dumped by his lover and having to build a new life.

There were some losses but also finding the life he wanted.

Antonio, Denis, Luca, Cristina, and Thomas are all fun characters. Filmmakers must often rely on independent funding or international co-productions to get queer projects made.

But this very tension—between repression and expression—fuels some of the most compelling art.

Will he regret it?

And so Antonio is forced to move out and rent a room with a free spirited twink who is wiser than his years and outrageous too.

What unfolds is that re-reckoning many have to do with the dating scene and apps after a relationship ends.

The story is funny and well paced with many smart observational jibes at the transitory nature of gay relationships and the unfulfilling side of hookup culture.

The acting is very good indeed and the cast is gorgeous.

Antonio had been a house husband so he's now left with nothing.

He rents a room, he makes a friend, he gets a job, and he learns how to be a person he's never before known.

One of Antonio's skills was with making pastries. Needing shelter and income, he rents from Denis and works at Luca's bakery while studying pastry-making, regaining independence along the way.

    Top notch acting and witty examination of the gay dating scene and how it infiltrates relationships.

    The lead actor is a standout in this funny, often irreverent, story about a house husband who's partner gets itchy feet and dumps him for someone else.
