Sono positivo

About This Movie

Sono positivo is quite a curious blend, really. Set against the backdrop of Southern Italy, it's a comedy-drama that dives into the complexities of family dynamics when faced with the stigma of AIDS. The pace ebbs and flows, sometimes veering into absurdity, thanks to a cast of characters that feels both familiar and deeply flawed. You’ve got the vain housewife, her straight-laced husband, a flamboyant gay brother, and their best friends caught in this tangled web. The performances are a mixed bag but somehow work in harmony with the film's offbeat tone. It’s distinctive for its mix of humor and somber themes, not to mention the practical effects, which keep things grounded despite the chaos. Definitely a different take on a serious subject.

Significant for its take on AIDS in the late 90s. · Reflects Southern Italian family culture. · Interesting character dynamics throughout.
