It's Hard Hitting, Real and Gritty.
It's Italian Cinema at its finest.
It's Gomorra.
"Not to be taken lightly" Should be the tagline. It is powerful and deep. The story is great and the representation of the crime family operations in Italy are real and scary. Combined with the alarming facts it constructs a powerful piece of cinema, one of my favourite non-anglophone films. The filmaker got into trouble for making this film due to the exposing of the mafia families and really put his neck on the line. So I owe it to him to put this film here, for without him - none of this would be possible.
My Favourite Bit = When the young protagonist boy gets shot in the chest with a bullet-proof vest, it's a sentimental moment from his turning boy to man.
