Every Sunday, I'll post a quick video -- and podcast -- about an indie film from at least a year ago. Today's film: CITY ISLAND (2009)

Director: Raymond De Felitta

Writer: Raymond De Felitta

Cast: Andy Garcia; Steven Strait; Julianna Margulies

SYNOPSIS

Prison guard Vince Rizzo (Andy Garcia) wants to quit his job to become an actor, but he also needs to make up for lost time with Tony (Steven Strait), a long-lost son who's an inmate where Vince works. When Tony is freed, Vince suggests the ex-convict move in with his wife, Joyce (Julianna Margulies), and their children. But because Vince neglects to tell his family that Tony is not just a stranger, but the son he fathered before he met Joyce, this leads to a series of comic misunderstandings.
