There's a scene in Goodfellas where Lorraine Bracco's character finds herself surrounded by the wives of her new husband's mobster mates. Scorsese films this raucous gathering of Italian-American women like a Fellini tableau while Bracco's voiceover makes her disapproval clear, mocking the women's tacky appearance. Tyler Taormina's Christmas Eve in Miller's Point plays out mostly in a home similarly stuffed with Italian-Americans (among them Scorsese's daughter Francesca). There are lots of bad fashion choices, tacky hairstyles and over-applied make-up on display. But there's no expression of contempt from anyone here. This is an unbridled and unfashionable expression of affection for working class get-togethers.
