Blood and Gypsies

In this two-part study of a dysfunctional Italian, New York family and the dream-like series of vignettes, Lenny DellaRocca blends the hard-nosed with the atmospheric. In one world, he is a character in his own lower class, uneducated cast of sisters, brothers, parents, aunts and uncles, and in the other, an observer of fragmentary, dark and sometimes sinister stories set in imaginary towns and landscapes.
