Gomorra

You don't divide an empire with a handshake, you carve it up with a knife. That empire is Naples and Campania. Gomorrah in the hands of the Camorra, the mafia that rules the entire region.

The Camorra is the largest criminal organisation in Europe. Over the last thirty years, it has murdered four thousand people: more than the IRA, more than ETA, more than the Sicilian mafia Cosa Nostra. It is an enterprise in its own right: extortion, prostitution, control of legal activities, rubbish collection, smuggling, drug trafficking... And above all, it is a criminal enterprise that works its way into the lives of the most disadvantaged. This is the perspective chosen by Matteo Garrone: immersion in the daily lives of the inhabitants of Casale Di Principe, a large working-class town on the outskirts of Naples. Or how, without us realising it as we simply pass by, life in the town is entirely governed by an illegal, historic, family-based authority. The town of all vices: drugs, corruption, honour killings, betrayals... A contemporary Sodom and Gomorrah, in the heart of Europe. (Sarah Elkaïm; critikat.com)
