If you're gay and want to enjoy a classy Italian film full of warmth and humanity then this one is for you. If you are straight and not homophobic and want to enjoy a classy Italian film full of warmth and humanity, then this movie is also for you. Whichever way you swing you're in for a treat. Great soundtrack too.
And for those, like me, who yearn for an upbeat and satisfying ending? Well, I'll just say that the final scenes and the bouncing glass tumbler deliver. To understand this you'll need to have been paying attention earlier when a dropped tumbler breaks. Subtle and stylish, just like the rest of this terrific film.
WARNING: if you don't speak Italian and need to download English subtitles beware there are two versions: one is excellent (first line is translated as "May l have the honor of being your guide?") and one is rubbish (first line is translated as "Can I be your guide?")
