Giancarlo Commare and Gianmarco Saurino in Mascarpone (2021)
Antonio is a 30 yo family man, whose life finds an unexpected twist when he's suddenly dumped by his husband, whom he depends both psychologically and economically: he needs to find a new place to stay, a job and a new purpose in life. Antonio finds a room in an apartment owned by Denis and starts to work in a bakery owned by Luca, while attending pastry school. Through this process he discovers that it was wrong of him to give up his independence for the sake of his relationship in the past.

    Not bad exactly, just a bit ho-hum!

    So what have we here? "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. For the rest of the movie he's basically having sex with a number of handsome hunks presumably in the hope that one of them will turn out to be Mr. Right. 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. 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. 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. Not bad exactly, just a bit ho-hum.

    A voyage of self-discovery

    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.

    Romance and character development masterpiece

    "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.

    Have your cake and eat it too

    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.

    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. It has some twists and turns and is always interesting to see how he will rekindle his groove. The story kept reminding me of AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, but this time with a gay perspective. The actors are all solid and not bad to look at! In the end, what remains is a stalwart screenplay that is not just entertaining, but also one that makes you think about your own choices along the way.
