Different from Whom? (Italian: Diverso da chi?) is a 2009 Italian comedy film directed by Umberto Carteni.
Piero is a young openly gay left-wing politician who lives in Trieste with his boyfriend Remo. During his mayoral election campaign the party decides to also to run Adele, a Catholic and strict conservative politician, as deputy mayor. Piero and Adele will discover to be attracted to each other, causing a stir among the voters and the political opponents, and suddenly turning Piero's boyfriend Remo into the odd man out.
The film has been cited as an example of sexual fluidity in recent queer European cinema.[2]
Different from Whom? was criticized by a panelist at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival as a film that was "made for straight audiences" and claimed that the film panders to heterosexuals who are uncomfortable with homosexuality.[3]
