Synopsis
Hot Potato (La patata bollente, 1979) is an Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Steno and starring Renato Pozzetto, Massimo Ranieri, and Edwige Fenech.
Gandhi is a respected communist factory worker in Milan, known for his hard line against management and fascists alike. One night he shelters a young man being attacked on the street. The man is gay. Word spreads quickly, and Gandhi's standing among his workmates begins to crack — not because anyone can articulate why, but because nobody quite knows what to do with this information either. Steno frames it as a broad comedy, yet the joke ends up revealing more about late-1970s Italian working-class attitudes than about the two men at its center. Stream Hot Potato (1979) on iFILM.
