Mine Vaganti (Loose Cannons)

Layout 1The Gist: Tommaso’s plans to come out to his family and tell them he doesn’t want to run the family business are thrown in disarray when his older brother makes his own unexpected announcement.

The Bottom Line: Ferzan Ozpetek is one of my favorite Italian directors.  His movies are always the right amalgam of laughs and tears, and their originality is undeniable.  Mine Vaganti fits that description perfectly.  A good cast overall is outshone by Ilaria Occhini, who’s absolutely brilliant.

Grade: 9
