Could This Be Film Of The Year???

PhotobucketGomorra

I went along to see Gomorra at the Glasgow Film Theatre during the October break and was really impressed by this movie. Made by Matteo Garrone and based on Roberto Saviano's bestseller of the same name, it's about the Italian mafia who operate in the housing estates of Naples. Like the similarly amazing City of God, the film is shot in a very naturalistic style covering the violent lives of various people (many of them very young) and their different ways of surviving the Camorra (the mafia). It is a sad and powerful film with many amazing moments. Try and see it soon!
