The Uncle from Brooklyn
Comedy
Set in apocalyptic Palermo peopled by ignorant, inbred, flatulent gluttons and deformed Mafiosi, a dark comedy which centers on a poor family of three-middle aged brothers who are coerced, by local Mafia honchos, into hiding a mysterious old man known as the Uncle from Brooklyn in their home.
VIBE
A challenging, uncompromising dive into a grotesque, post-atomic vision of society. Its stark black and white and surreal, dialect-heavy narrative create a uniquely unsettling and darkly comedic experience that lingers long after viewing.
