In this drama from Italy, Diego (Alessandro Gassman) and Shary (Michela Cescon) are a wealthy couple who have rented a luxurious summer house by the sea, which they're sharing with their friends Matteo (Massimo Poggio) and Francesca (Maria de Medeiros). Life is easy until the arrival of David (Thyago Alves), Diego and Shary's handsome son in his early twenties. While everyone likes David, his presence brings out a sense of rivalry and unspoken longings among both couples, and when their friend Leonard (Christo Jivkov), a psychiatrist, arrives, his theories about why so much has changed since David showed up does little to ease anyone's mind. David's Birthday (Il Compleanno) was the second feature film from writer and director Marco Filiberti, following the controversial 2003 release Poco Piu Di Un Anno Fa (aka Adored: Diary Of A Porn Star); the film received its world premiere at the 2009 Venice International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Adored: Diary of a Porn Star: 2003

Long a staple of Italian theater and vocal music, Marco Filiberti makes an auspicious debut as a feature-film writer/director in this melodrama set against the decadent backdrop of the porn industry. Filiberti plays the tanned, toned, and egotistical Riki, whose name is well-known to the country's gay adult-film connoisseurs. After the death of his aristocratic father, Riki is brought back into contact with his estranged brother Federico (Urbano Barberini), who views his brother's chosen profession with a combination of disdain and curiosity. As the two reconcile their differences, Riki has to come to terms with growing up and taking responsibility, which for him includes the desire to become a father by adopting an orphan. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Starring:: Marco Filiberti, Urbano Barberini, (more)
