The listing, A Piece Of Eden has ended.

A Piece of Eden is a bittersweet comedy that follows three generations of the unlucky Tredici family from Corsica in the 1940's to an Indiana fruit farm in the present. Young Bob, the first member of the family born in America, is heir to the family farm, but has no interest in farming and leaves to pursue a show business career in New York. When his father becomes ill, Bob returns and tries to revitalize the farm while cousin Greg tries to take it away from him.
Tyne Daly, Frederic Forrest, Andreas Katsulas, Robert Breuler, Marc Grapey, Rebecca Harrell, Irma St. Paule, and Tristan Rogers star in this film showing the complex dynamics of a family with wonderful and amusing characterizations.
It is directed and produced by John Hancock who directed Bang the Drum Slowly with Robert DeNiro, a picture which opened to wildly enthusiastic reviews, including Richard Schickel's Time Magazine rave that it was "very possibly the best movie about sport ever made in this country." He also directed Weeds with Nick Nolte, and five other nationally distributed films.
"A Piece of Eden has an evocative, lyrical and elegiac sense of the land, and of one man's struggle to connect with his past. I found it really charming and moving. It's rare that you see a film that addresses the sense of abundance and blessing in America. There are moments in this film that live up to its title, and you feel an enormous sense of wonder at nature. John Hancock's most personal and most passionate film."
John Lahr, drama critic for The New Yorker Magazine
