went to see a movie yesterday, it "came out" a coupla years ago, an Italian movie called "His Secret Life." Interesting note: the movie has subtitles, and at one point in the movie, two of the characters are speaking Turkish, so the movie subtitles their conversation in Italian, which was then subtitled in English, so it was a case of double-layered subtitles. The plot of the movie had to do with a woman whose husband is killed (in quite a shocking sequence) when he's hit by a car. From clues she discovers that her husband had a lover for 7 years, but it turns out the lover is a guy. Eventually she gets over her shock and disgust and befriends the man and his "family" that shares thgis flat with him. There's the matronlyt Turkish lesbian, a guy with AIDS, a couple more gay guys, and a transsexual. They are such a fun, loving pseudofamily, how could you not fall in love with them? In the end she grows out of her conventional attitudes from knowing them and sets off to find a new life. It was a good flick.
