About The Brother from Space
A spaceship lands in a small town in Arizona, leaving behind mysterious capsules from which a strange creature emerges and turns out to be the only survivor. Jenny, a blind girl who works as a singing teacher and has paranormal powers, senses the presence of the alien, who is lost and in need of help.
Directed by Mario Gariazzo, The Brother from Space leans on a strong ensemble — Martin Balsam, Agostina Belli, Silvia Tortosa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1988.
