Mambo Italiano is
hysterically funny and deeply moving. Adapted from the
successful play by the same name, the movie explores
further the subtleties and complexities of this
quintessential Italian family-a family straddling the
cultures, traditions, and mores of the old and new
worlds. Maria and Gino,
emigrated from Italy to Montreal in the 50's and married
after their arrival in "the new world", a
world they still haven't quite gotten used to. Their
world is shattered when their son, Angelo, decides to
get a place of his own. "What is so wrong with
living with your parents until you get married?"
they ask. They are relieved however, when Angelo's
childhood buddy, Nino, decides to move in with their
son. After all, Nino is an old family friend and a
respectable cop. Their relief is short lived, as they
find out that Nino and Angelo are much more than mere
roommates¿ they're lovers. Will Angelo and Nino be able
to resist the gargantuan pressure coming at them from
all sides and find the strength to survive as a couple?
Will Nino be able to withstand the seductive charms of
the voluptuous Pina? Will Angelo find the courage to
fully come out of the closet and confront the whole of
them while he accepts himself?!! |
