Household Saints. by Savoca, Nancy,film director.; Taylor, Lili,actor.; Imperioli, Michael,actor.; Ullman, Tracey,actor.; D’Onofrio, Vincent,actor.; Kino Lorber (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Lili Taylor, Michael Imperioli, Tracey Ullman, Vincent D’OnofrioOriginally produced by Kino Lorber in 1993.Nancy Savoca’s star-studded indie gem is a chronicle of a spirited Italian-American New York family that perfectly balances humor, tragedy, and pathos. Joseph Santangelo (Vincent D’Onofrio) is a butcher with a wicked sense of humor who “wins” his wife Catherine (a stellar Tracey Ullman) in a pinochle game. Over the protests of his mother (Judith Malina) who talks to ghosts and makes deals with saints, Joseph marries Catherine. When the old lady dies, her spirit is channeled into her granddaughter Teresa who overtakes the film with her yearning to serve God. Perfectly embodying a modern-day Bernadette, Lili Taylor imbues Teresa with a mix of dedicated innocence and naïveté. Executive produced by Jonathan Demme, with memorable performances from Michael Imperioli, Michael Rispoli and Victor Argo, HOUSEHOLD SAINTS showcases a unique voice in 1990s independent filmmaking.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
