Description
Nancy Savoca's star-studded indie gem Household Saints is a chronicle of a spirited Italian American New York family that perfectly balances humor, tragedy, and pathos. Joseph Santangelo is a butcher with a wicked sense of humor who 'wins' his wife Catherine in a pinochle game. Over the protests of his mother 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 yearns to serve God. Perfectly embodying a modern-day Bernadette, Lili Taylor imbues Teresa with a mix of dedicated innocence and naivete. 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.
