"City Island": Truth Is Stranger Than Family

Now available on DV and Blu-ray from Anchor Bay Entertainment, "City Island" is written and directed by Raymond De Felitta:

'...'Vince Rizzo' (Andy Garcia) is a lifelong resident of the tiny, tadition-steeped Bronx enclave of 'City Island'. A family man who makes his living as a corrections officer, Vince longs to become an actor. Ashamed to admit his aspirations to his family, Vince would rather let his fiery wife 'Joyce' (Juilianna Margulies) believe his weekly poker games are a cover for an exttrramarital affair than admit he's secretly taking acting classes in Manhattan.

"When Vince is asked to reveal his biggest secret in class, he inadvertently sets off a chaotic chain of events that turns his mundane suburban life upside down. Inspired by the exercise, he decides to bring his long-lost ex-con son 'Tony' (Steve Strait) home to meet his family, and it soon becomes clear that everyone- including his college student daughter (Dominik Garcia-Lorido), teenaged son 'Vinnie Jr.' (Ezra Miller), charistmatic acting partner (Emily Mortimer) and drama coack (Alan Arkin)- has something to hide.

"A perfect storm of deception, half truths and confusion makes Vince and his family members realize that the truth may not set them free, but it is easier to keep track of than all their well-intentioned lies..."
