Talk:Berlinguer, I Love You

Plot
I have not seen this film. The plot described in this WP:English article bears little resemblance to the equivalent WP:Italian article (Google translation below). Can someone who has seen the film please correct the English article? Translation:

'' Mario Cioni is a twenty-five-year-old from the Tuscan underclass with the myth of Enrico Berlinguer, who always spends time with friends (with whom he also shares his work as a bricklayer) or at the cinema watching pornographic films or in the countryside talking to himself. Scurrilous and sexually blocked, he always tries to approach a girl dancing in a bar near home; on the very day he succeeds in the difficult "task", some of his friends play a prank on him, making the ballroom group announce the death of his mother. The shocked young man then wanders alone through the countryside, indulging in heavy swearing and railing, overwhelmed by a strange state of desperation, spends the night under a bridge and immerses himself in his usual absurd reasoning about God, morality and sex.

When he returns home the next morning he discovers that his mother is alive. Thus begins his alienating routine again until one of his friends, Bozzone, beats him at cards, winning 4000 lire from him. Mario doesn 't know how to deal with his gambling debt and Bozzone, as payment, asks him to make love to his mother for once. What begins as yet another bad joke from friends towards Mario turns into a solid reality, since Mario's mother and Bozzone, after the first experience, will begin to like each other and live like a real family, throwing into oblivion and poor Mario is now in an increasingly irrecoverable moral confusion.''

 * I'm italian and i've seen the movie countless times as it is a Tuscan cult movie. In the english version of the article, it states that when Mario loses at cards, their friends force him to have sex with his own mother. The italian version is accurate: Mario owes 4000 lire to Bozzone for loosing the game, when he tells him that he cannot pay, Bozzone asks Mario if he can have sex with Mario's mother as payment. The next scenes revolve around Mario's struggle to tell it to his mother in fear of her anger and their complicate relationship. When she discovers the ordeal, she simply agrees happily to spend the night with Bozzone; this increases Mario's overall confusion and alienation as Bozzone and Mario's mother start to enjoy the time together as a family, since she has been a widow for a long time. 79.43.132.97 (talk) 12:37, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
