Mambo Italiano

Directed by Émile Gaudreault

An Italian immigrant's son in Canada struggles to reveal his homosexuality to his parents.
Mambo Italiano is a broad, energetic comedy about coming out inside a close-knit Italian-Canadian family. The stereotypes are deliberately exaggerated and not every joke lands, but Luke Kirby brings warmth to the lead role and the film’s affectionate family chaos gives it considerable charm.
