Henry D @Henry_Domke Sep 1, 2026 In some ways it was bewildering because the corruption was so pervasive and felt so real. The characters, settings and action all felt authentic, almost as if we were watching a documentary. There was a wide array of characters, but the film took time to develop them rather than relying on action alone. That character development made us care about many of them, even when their criminal activities were repulsive to us.

It was an interesting film raising awareness with dramatization about Italian gangs and their influence / destructive nature. It was also based on real facts. I had never thought about this side of Italian culture and it was eye opening despite the confusing narrative that made it hard to keep my interest. It was on the NYT 1000 movies list. SLC DVD.

It's human centric narrative of multiple weaving narratives may be off-putting to some, because there is no clear singular protagonist to root for. But if you're willing to sit through the the fractured narrative, it is a powerful piece of filmmaking that shows the corrupted nature of humanity at its primitive, tribal core. And the performances Garrone masterful extracts from his cast, using a combination of lesser known actors and non-actors in the Italian neo-realist style, are second to none. See more Robson C @RT82519826 Mar 21, 2025 O filme narra como trabalha a Camorra, a violenta máfia napolitana, através de histórias de algumas pessoas. Assim, temos Totó, um menino pré-adolescente que faz pequenos serviços. Pasquale, um alfaiate que trabalha em fábricas têxteis clandestinas para as etiquetas da alta costura, que decide ganhar um dinheiro extra. Don Ciro, o responsável por levar dinheiro para as famílias dos que estão presos e se achava protegido. Temos Franco, que possui uma empresa para livrar dos dejetos químicos, mas não faz corretamente. E, por fim, os amigos Ciro e Boxer, que decidem se rebelar com a máfia e seguir as suas próprias regras. Em todas essas histórias, temos a mão pesada da Camorra. O filme lembra um pouco Cidade de Deus, por ilustrar bem a situação. No filme brasileiro, a violência que sempre norteou o conjunto residencial carioca. Aqui, um painel atual deste grupo criminoso. Nos dois filmes, não há o glamour dos gangsters americanos. Não há ternos bem cortados. Todos vestem roupas comuns: camisetas, bermudas, tênis. A violência é gráfica. O Estado, inexistente. Cidade de Deus e Gomorra podem se dizer filmes irmãos. See more Read all reviews
