Gomorra

(Italy, 2008, 137 minutes)

The daily life of small-time members of Camorra, the Neapolitan Mafia, in the Scampia projects in Naples. Gritty, realist ensemble epic of mob life inspired by a best-selling journalistic exposé, eschewing crime story romanticism in favour of a disenchanted, suffocating approach.
