Based on Francine Prose’s novel, Nancy Savoca’s comic chronicle of a spirited Italian-American family perfectly balances humor, tragedy, and pathos. Vincent D’Onofrio’s Joseph Santangelo is a butcher with a wicked sense of humor who “wins” his wife (Tracey Ullman) in a pinochle game. Together they experience the ups, downs, and wacky in-betweens of city life – including a teenage daughter that yearns to join a convent. Produced by Jonathan Demme, with notable appearances from Michael Imperioli and Judith Malina, Household Saints announced a unique voice in 1990s NYC independent filmmaking. (1993, 125 mins)
