My Brother Jack
A Italian-American family in Manhattan faces crisis when Jack, one of four brothers, develops a heroin addiction. His mother Rose and siblings - restaurateur Sal, singer Vincent, and young Joey - struggle with this challenge. Anthony Caldarella's debut feature is a semi-autobiographical account of a working-class, Italian-American family living on Manhattan's lower east side in the mid-sixties. Rose Casale and her four sons - Sal, who runs a local trattoria, Vincent, a struggling blues singer, Jack, a charismatic magician, and Joey, 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. —Travis Kimble, <travki@cinemaverite.com>
