Loose cannons

I am backtracking a bit here, to the London film festival in October. Probably my favourite film at the festival was an Italian film called Loose Cannons, directed by the Turkish - Italian director Ferzan Ozpetek, who also directed one of my other favourite films, Fate Ignoranti (Ignorant Fairies). This film is set in the lovely walled town of Lecce, making me want to go there on holiday. It is a story about two gay brothers wanting to come out to their pretty conservative pasta factory owning family. I particularly liked the fact that the film explored not just the two brothers, but also several of the other characters in the family. I think Ozpetek is a very sensitive and insightful director.
