CITY ISLAND (2010)
RAYMOND DE FELITTA
Plot
Vince Rizzo, a lifelong resident of the tiny Bronx enclave of City Island, is a family man who makes his living as a corrections officer, but secretly longs to become an actor. Vince would rather let his fiery wife Joyce believe his weekly poker games are a cover for an affair than admit he's taking acting classes, but when hes asked to reveal his biggest secret in class, he sets off a chain of events that turns his suburban life upside down. Inspired by the exercise Vince ups the anti and it soon becomes clear that no one he knows, is without a secret. City Island is a crackingly cast and wittily drawn drama that advocates the discomfort of honesty over the chaos of deceit.
