1h 58m
Directed by John Turturro • 1992 • United States
Starring John Turturro, Michael Badalucco, Katherine Borowitz
Winner of the Caméra d’Or at Cannes for best first-time director, John Turturro’s deeply personal, emotionally intense directorial debut draws from his own family experiences as it tells the story of three brothers who struggle against all odds to scrape together enough money to start their own business in 1950s Queens. Turturro the director expertly realizes their unique and often humorous world, one bound by raucous loyalty and torn by sibling rivalry. And Turturro the actor delivers one of his finest performances as Mac, the ambitious, overbearing, irresistible oldest brother.
