Michelle Costabile and Jacopo Costantini are two men who are in love, but face constant harassment by neo-Nazi skinheads, in The Neighbor, the Italian LGBTQ+ drama film from filmmaker Pasquale Marrazzo. Also starring in the movie are Luisa Vernelli, Lucia Vasini, Rossana Gay, and Antonio Rosti.
This is Marrazzo’s fifth film, with his South of the Sun launching Toronto’s Discovery section in 2001.
The Neighbor which played at numerous film festivals including OUTshine and Miami FF, will open in theaters with a release date of June 2, followed by digital and DVD release on June 6 from Dark Star Pictures and Uncork’d Entertainment.
An intense love story between two young men forms from a harrowing incident they are involved in. From that moment on nothing will be like it used to be and the love between the two men sadly brings to light Luca’s parents’ hate and intolerance towards their relationship.
Watch the official trailer for The Neighbor.
