Loose Cannons (Mine Vaganti) Lisner H 7:15 p.m. H $20 Closing Night Gala and Audience Awards immediately following film From famed director Ferzan Oztapek (Steam, His Secret Life, Saturn in Opposition) comes this Italian serio-comedy (with more comedy than serio) about Tomasso and Antonio Cantone who are the next generation set to take over their conservative family’s pasta-making company in Southern Italy. But Tomasso, who now lives happily in Rome with his partner Marco, has no interest in the family business. He also knows that his secret life will not go over well with his father and mother. So he decides to make a big announcement over dinner in the hopes of escaping quickly back to Rome. But Antonio has his own secrets, and when they come spilling out before Tomasso can say anything, their father suffers a heart attack and Antonio ends up disowned. All of which leaves poor Tomasso stuck with the responsibility for the company while dad recovers. Tomasso tries to keep it all together despite several other crazy relatives, a merger with a rival pasta maker that throws him together with the pretty Alba who has her eye on him and a visit from his flamboyant friends. Will Tomasso ever get to come out and go home to Rome? Will Antonio be allowed back into the family and the company? Dir. Ferzan Ozpetek, 2010, Italy, 108 min. In Italian with English subtitles. H Afterparty at Town Danceboutique, 2009 8th St. NW
