Watch My Brother Anastasia For Free
My Brother Anastasia
Don Salvatore Anastasia, a priest in a seminary in Tropea, Calabria (Italy), gets a ticket to visit his brother in New York. He has never known him, because the brother emigrated illegally in the U.S.A. years before. Upon his arrival in America, he is greeted with much respect, as well as his brother, also from the Italian-American community of Little Italy. Enthusiastic of that, he decided to stay on as assistant pastor in the church of Saint Lucia and bring it to a new shine. Accompanied in New York, his last name, Anastasia, commands respect and, above all, opens the door hitherto locked: his brother, really, is the infamous mob boss Albert Anastasia.

Must See Movie...
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
A very low budget film shot in and around Little Italy in Manhattan (Mulberry-Hester Streets) when this story about Father Sal really takes place in the Bronx. Dialogue is weak, even in the Italian. The only real facts about this film is that Albert Anastasia DID get his start on the Brooklyn docks and that he WAS murdered in the barber shop. Even their brother Anthony (Tony) who was the dock mob boss is not even identified. Certainly, a let-down.I know the movie came out of the book that Father Sal wrote in Calabria and he wanted to keep all the gory details (and his brother(s)shames) out of it, but there is really nothing left once you pull out the good stuff.
