Gomorra presented by Martin Scorsese, directed by Matteo Garrone, paints a very different picture for the crowd who has grown up of the romanticized mob films which include The Godfather, Goodfellas, and Casino. The film is based on a book by the same name by Roberto Saviano, who was basically a whistleblower of the modern day crime associations that inhabit Naples, Italy.
The tragic and graphic movie follows various characters as you watch them try to escape an inevitable demise in a world that is neither fair or full of much hope. The film is definately worth catching, although playing in limited release. A fair warning though, it runs 140 minutes...which may have been my only qualms with the film, the necessity for additional editing, but apart from that it was definately eye opening!
