Mine Vaganti / Loose Cannons (2010)

After struggling with his last three films, Italo-Turkish director Ferzan Ozpetek is back on form with the breezy but passionate Loose Cannons, a likeable and commercially viable coming-out comedy set in Italys Deep South. With its themes of family secrets, oddball character parts, bittersweet tone and sunny outlook, this is the easily the most Almodovar-esque of all Ozpeteks films.

[This film suggests that Ferzan Ozpetek is moving towards a contemporary revival of the commedia allitaliana genre, which can only be good for him and for audiences]
