Starring Vincent D'Onofrio, Tracey Ullman, Lili Taylor, Judith Malina, Michael Rispoli, Victor Argo, and Michael Imperioli in a  long overdue new restoration!

Based on Francine Prose’s fifth novel, Nancy Savoca’s chronicle of a spirited Italian-American New York family perfectly balances humor, tragedy, and pathos. Vincent D’Onofrio’s Joseph Santangelo is a butcher with a wicked sense of humor who “wins” his wife Catherine (a stellar Tracey Ullman) in a pinochle game. Over the protests of his mother (Judith Malina) 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 overtakes the film with her yearning to serve God. Perfectly embodying a modern-day Bernadette, Lili Taylor imbues Teresa with a mix of dedicated innocence and naïveté. Executive produced by Jonathan Demme, with notable performances from Michael Imperioli, Michael Rispoli and Victor Argo, Household Saints represents a unique voice in 1990s independent filmmaking.

"Director Nancy Savoca is one of our great American storytellers. There is so much detail here that she gets just right and so much more that she has the courage to simply present without making a scene. The performances she gleans from her players are always impeccable; in Household Saints, she starts with some of the best talents around and inspires them to new heights." - Marjorie Baumgarten, The Austin Chronicle

"Making a stark pivot from the Manhattan humor and hijinks of Moonstruck – complete with an opera-obsessed, tortured man – to a mid-century Catholic guilt period piece straight from Scorsese, Nancy Savoca’s Household Saints celebrates life with a sobering, non-judgmental lens, often foggy with nostalgia, and peppered with oddballs, sad saps and cured meats. And it’s more than a slice-of-life or a family portrait: it’s a time capsule, spanning the generations on screen, through the off-screen era it was released, right to today, when it stands proud and undiminished among modern peers. And its close-up is long overdue." - Kevin Parks, The Movie Buff

"Household Saints is indeed a love story, encapsulating the many ways love shows itself and withholds, keeping the mystery alive. Love, much like faith, is often illogical. And that’s what makes the small moments of beauty all the more special." - Jourdain Searles, Reverse Shot

“Lili Taylor is wonderful … I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone quite like her character in a film before.” - Matt Singer, Screen Crush

"A warm-hearted jewel of a movie." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
