Mascarpone

What a beautiful film story. And yes finally, a film made on gay characters who really project real life stories and do not reproduce the stereotype of a troubling gay life. On the contrary, it is about people who enjoy life, make mistakes, hurt and lough a lot, and they do it all in their own unique way.

This is totally different from your average romance, or a story of a wedding that falls apart. This is about two young men who cannot make it work out any more and try to navigate themselves through a divorce, which makes them revise all things, they took for granted. In the end life finds the way, but the journey in which the film takes us upon, is the real pleasure.

This is a lovely Italian romantic comedy about a "kept" young gay man who quits a relationship and gains a whole new career and lease on life. Very handsome actors and a sex/love positive message, it is a gay valentine. You will have to see the film to know what mascarpone is. Well, I didn't know. I have watched it three times. A keeper. The anglicized name is Mascarpone in case you have trouble finding it.

"Mascarpone" is a gay masterpiece; I have not seen a film like this in a very long time. Contrary to the general consensus, I believe the rating should be way higher. This film excels where most gay films fall short: character development. Every character is fully fleshed out, making their journeys deeply engaging and relatable.

Italy has been bringing some serious gay cinema lately, and "Mascarpone" is a prime example. The movie is superb, and our community needs more films like this. The story is heartfelt, the direction is impeccable, and Lorenzo Adorni is simply gorgeous. This film is a must-watch for anyone seeking quality gay cinema.

We all need a Denis in our lives to tell us to find ourselves and grow up first before trying to settle for someone wrong, because if we are busy to be someone else, then who would be us !

A beautiful story of life, relationship, heartbreak, friendship. This movie would work as beautifully as a hetero one because of the way it was presented. 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. This could have been a relationship between a man and a woman, and the impact would have been same. 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. The pace was perfect, transitions of the scenes were natural. In short, nothing looked forced, everything happening at their own time. It was a refreshing to see something so normal.

First off left me say that I almost never watch movies with subtitles. I get distracted and miss a lot of things because I missed reading something. 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. 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. It was what he did at home, it's what he did in apartment of the room he rented, and he goes to pastry school so that he can pursue this dream.

By the end of the movie Antonio is finally independent. There were some losses but also finding the life he wanted.

Antonio, Denis, Luca, Cristina, and Thomas are all fun characters. Real friends and in one case something more.

We don't know where Antonio is going based on the end of the movie but it's wide open with options.
