Poignant and passionate, Anthony Caldarella's debut feature is a semi-autobiographical account of a working-class, ItalianAmerican family living on Manhattan's lower east side in the mid-Sixties. Rose Casale (Karen Kondazian) and her four sons -Sal (Peter Allas), who runs a local trattoria, Vincent (Michael Cavalieri), a struggling blues singer, Jack (Marco Leonardi), a charismatic magician, and Joey (Freddy Capra), the youngest-have achieved a level of sustenance that any family would cherish. But at 24, Jack has replaced his love of magic with an uncontrollable craving for heroin and his addiction tests the family's mettle. Featuring a terrific performance by Marco Leonardi (Cinema Paradiso, Like Water for Chocolate), My Brother Jack depicts a multi-faceted ItalianAmerican community with such palpable authenticity that, whatever Jack's fate, the film remains a loving homage to the unconditional bond between family members.
