running for office in italy
8 December 2023
In the united states, it's different from whom. In italia, it's called diverso da chi? (the 2009 one!) when his friends want him to run for mayor, piero isn't sure what to think. He likes the idea, but he's gay. And the town is quite conservative. And his campaign manager samuele is a bit effeminate. And the backers want him to stop admitting that he is gay. When he teams up with adele, a candidate from another party, there's a fun comparison of gay relationships versus straight relationships. Lots of jokes. It's all done in fun. Some steamy bed time with the two of them. I guess if piero is really bisexual, or very drunk, all can be forgiven. He WAS in a relationship with another man. But if they are doing this just to appear as a couple, this brings up other issues. Who does piero want to be with? In public and in private? What will piero do? It's okay. Gotta keep in mind the mindset of the time it was made. Even today, italy still has civil unions, but not same sex marriage. Currently showing on tubi free streaming. Directed by berto carteni.
