Gomorra

Directed by Matteo Garrone

Cinematography by Marco Onorato

It wasn’t until just recently I started checking out Italian films. I had always found them rather bland until I saw Martin Scorsese’s My Voyage to Italy. It’s almost all about Roberto Rossellini’s films with some mentions of Fellini, Vittorio de Sica, and Luchino Visconti. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re into Italian Cinema (not so much the Italian genre films though.) Anyway, back to the film Im making this post about. I realize a lot of people in the US haven’t been able to see Gomorra yet but if you get the chance and are a fan of mafia films, its definitely worth checking out. Its a little different and sadly needs back story to really understand but it has to be the best organized crime film of the past decade and its a true story thats put the author of the book’s life in pretty serious danger. I wish I fuckin shot that. Who doesn’t? Mafia films are cool as shit even if you’re a snob.
