Mine vaganti

Product Information

This 1962 cult comedy is considered the apex of commedia all’italiana , one of the most celebrated genres in Italian cinema. In II sorpasso , introverted law student Roberto is taken on an unexpected road trip by the erratic and charismatic Bruno.

Things don't get better when, during a transitional phase of the film, Tommaso's gay friends from Rome show up for a surprise visit. Tommaso's parents convince them to stay overnight – cue camp homos who try to act straight but still can't help admire Alba's dress or flirt with Tommaso's brother-in-law. During a trip to the beach, the boys perform a silly coordinated dance before splashing each other with water. It's funny, but so predictable. At times, it's hard to tell whether all the typecasting and melodrama is done knowingly or is just crass. Loose Cannons premiered on 13 February, 2010, at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival. The following month, it was theatrically released in Italy, Switzerland, and Turkey. In the United States, the film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on 28 April, 2010, where it won the Special Jury Prize. It was later screened at the Seattle International Film Festival, the Provincetown International Film Festival and Palm Springs International Film Festival. In October 2010, the film was screened at the London Film Festival. Loose Cannons ( Italian: Mine vaganti) is a 2010 Italian comedy film directed by Ferzan Özpetek.

In this issue of Classic@, we focus on selected themes that revolve around the phenomenon of the itinerant professionals of performing arts and run along it, in a way that shows the osmotic levels set in motion by such research. This issue is the result of a dynamic process: two workshops, as a twofold thematic series, were held at the Department of Classics, “La Sapienza” University, between the Fall and the Spring Term 2020/2021, with MA students in Greek Epigraphy and with doctoral students in History and Philology of the Ancient World. The outcomes of the conversations and brainstorming engaged in during the meetings worked as a starting point for this select group of young scholars to conduct an in-depth analysis on thematic ramifications arising from the topics proposed.The film is based on the American novel Human Capital by Stephen Amidon, which could help beginners and intermediates better follow the plot. However, due to the complex themes and dialogue, this film is ideally suited to advanced Italian learners. La vita è bella (“Life Is Beautiful”) Throughout 2010 and 2011, Loose Cannons was screened at film festivals such as Aruba International Film Festival, Moscow Film Festival, Durban International Film Festival, Festival do Rio and Ghent International Film Festival, and was theatrically released in France, Russia, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Hungary, Japan, Colombia, the Netherlands, Argentina and Philippines.

IT 12/03/2010, DE 15/07/2010, FR 21/07/2010, PL 30/07/2010, PT 19/08/2010, UK 17/12/2010, BE 23/03/2011, RO 24/06/2011, CZ 04707/2013 The film has an array of characters, Tommaso's family, many of them also have hidden truths, some are revealed, some are not. Potentially this could lead to a intriguing film, but Loose Cannons struggle in many ways. Firstly the subject matter is played, for the most part, quite seriously. Yes, there is a funny side to the situation Tommaso finds himself him, but there is also a serious side, that his life as he wants it, is on hold again. But there are other serious overtones: his father's refusal to accept or understand his other son's sexuality, his grandmother dwells on her own past and lost opportunities and there is his colleague's longing for someone unattainable. There are some very touching, often moving moments in the film, as characters reveal aspects of their lives to some and withdraw from others. Yet part way in the film tries to lighten up with the introduction of Tommaso's gay friends. Unable to be openly gay they downplay their sexuality with some quite funny results, but it feels out of place. As Tommaso looks onto the life he and his friends could have, so we the viewer look on wondering whether we are watching a comedy or drama. Rounding off our list is the Oscar-winning classic La vita è bella by Roberto Benigni. Set in a Nazi labor camp, this bittersweet comedy reflects on themes of love and sacrifice as the protagonist Guido attempts to protect his son from the terror of their reality by pretending the camp is actually just an elaborate game, where they have to follow all the rules to win a tank. Mine vaganti , a 2010 comedy by Ferzan Özpetek, provides a layered and introspective take on the contentious issue of homosexuality in conservative southern Italy. The film follows protagonist Tommaso as his attempts to come out to his family are repeatedly thwarted by a series of unexpected obstacles. Il gruppo di ricerca, formato da oltre trecento associate/i e diecimila simpatizzanti fb, pubblica articoli e dati su ogni singolo territorio e sollecita le istituzioni affinché strade, piazze, giardini e spazi urbani in senso lato, siano dedicati a donne.Vitamine vaganti è la rivista ufficiale dell’associazione, registrata presso il Tribunale di Roma il 16 marzo 2019, per dare voce alle associate e agli associati. As usual in his movies, photography, sets and music are highly original and perfectly fitted to the story: if it were a silent movie it would be beautiful just to look at; if it were a radio program it would be delightful just to listen to. This is the first of his movies to integrate a significant amount of comedy into his usually serious but highly imaginative dramas, and he does it expertly; I laughed out loud almost as often as I wept with delight. Several amusing story lines unfold. The family is large enough to offer many opportunities for sub-plots. It's a pity that most are not developed to their full potential. Even worse, some are rather unrealistic, like the gay friends of the second son staying for a few days. The story of a family of pasta makers in the Salento area and in particular two brothers and their relationship with their father and sister. international title:
