Dearest Relatives, Poisonous Relations (1992)

The film features an openly gay character, Alessandro, whose partner Michele is present at the family gathering. Their relationship is depicted as a normal part of the dysfunctional family dynamic, without being a central theme or a specific target of ridicule or affirmation. The film's satire is directed at the general selfishness and hypocrisy of all family members.

The film uses the setting of a Christian holiday and a nominally Catholic family to satirize profound hypocrisy and moral decay. It portrays the adherents as selfish, greedy, and devoid of genuine faith, using religious traditions as a superficial facade for their reprehensible actions, with the narrative implicitly condemning this moral failing.
