He & Him

About This Movie

He & Him is a quietly intriguing film that captures the selfishness of youth through Pietro, who’s booted from his girlfriend’s place for his fixation on football and his buddies. The atmosphere is almost palpable, with that sense of youthful aimlessness hanging thick in the air. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing little moments to breathe, especially in the awkward interactions between Pietro and Omero, who exudes warmth and understanding. What makes it distinctive is how it explores themes of identity and acceptance without heavy-handedness. The performances are grounded; you can feel the tension and unspoken emotions simmering just below the surface, especially from Omero, whose character introduces a pivotal contrast to Pietro's shallow pursuits.

He & Him has a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to availability—it's not exactly a title you find on every shelf. Its rarity makes it a point of interest for collectors who appreciate indie films with deeper themes. The obscurity of the director adds a layer of intrigue; there are discussions around its production history, but solid details are sparse, making it a bit elusive in the collector community.
