City Island is a movie made in 2009, which came out in April of 2010, starting Emmy Nominated Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies as a married couple seemingly stuck in a rut. Their entire family, including themselves, can not face the truth. Vince Rizzo, Garcia's character, is a corrections officer and longs to be a big star. This revelation is a secret he wants to keep from his family and hides his weekly acting classes as best he can.
At the 2009 famous Tribeca Film Festival, where a lot of films make their debut, this movie won the audience award. This is the award given to films that are favorites of those viewing the films for the first time, both everyday people and critics are allowed to vote for this award. The distributors take their movies to these film festivals in order to generate publicity and a name for the film. People seemed to identify and love this quirky little film in which no one likes to tell the truth.
Each member of this family of fibbers is hiding a deep dark secret so that the rest of the relatives will not be destroyed from a revelation of what they are doing behind everyone's back. The father in the film, and popular star of the Ocean's movies, Garcia, wants to become a Hollywood actor but doesn't dare tell his wife or family. Margulies, of televisions the Good Wife, portrays Garcia's somewhat neurotic but always nosey wife. She spends hours trying to catch him in the act of cheating.
The family has a collage-attending daughter, played by Dominik Garca-Lorido, of the Lost City, who is also hiding a secret, she is a stripper. Their young, teenage son, played by Ezra Miller, from Californication, has a weird fetish that has something to do with their 300 lb neighbor. Then there is the elder Rizzo's drama coach, played by Emmy Award Winner, Alan Arkin of Little Miss Sunshine, who also has a few secrets he's hiding.
One of the first things a screenwriter must do when putting their story on paper is to answer the question 'why today?' this will give the audience the reason for the movie. The main character in this film, Vince Rizzo answers this question for us through his excited reaction to an acting game. He recently found his long-lost son in the prison where he works as a corrections officer and decides to bring him home to meet his family. This is the beginning of the families many secrets unveiling.
Emily Mortimer of the movie Shutter Island gives a performance of the elder Rizzo's confidant and acting partner. Mortimer and Garcia's chemistry is almost perfect in this quirky and almost always funny movie for the most laughs and best chemistry, money is on Margulies' and Garcia. They play a typical New York married couple whose miscommunications and constant love-hate yelling will steal the show.
The movie's namesake is a real live place just outside of the Bronx's and it is teaming with tradition. There are basically no 'outsiders' in the tiny former fishing village and parents hand down their houses from generation to generation. People outside of Manhattan and the Bronx don't know of this beautiful little community, that is, until now.
This movie came out in April of 2010 and the Blu-Ray and DVD release date is scheduled for August 24, 2010. In addition to his acting duties, Andy Garcia is also one of the many producers, joining several co-producers and executive producers. The film was written and directed, as a labor of love by Raymond De Felitta. - 40727
