Suddenly Last Winter

Offering an alternative look at an issue that has dominated recent culture wars in America, Italian filmmakers Gustav Hofer and Luca Ragazzi explore attitudes and reactions about gay marriage in their home country. When Italy's center-left government attempted to pass legislation allowing civil partnership between cohabiting couples, Hofer and Ragazzi discovered more national resistance and hatred than they had expected. Witty, genial and revealing, SUDDENLY LAST WINTER features astounding footage of memorably inane on-the-street interviews.
