“Gomorra goes beyond Tarantino’s gratuitous violence and even Scorsese’s Hollywood sensibility in depicting the everyday reality of organised crime’s footsoldiers.”
The Hollywood Reporter
“Probably the blackest, least sentimental study of the Mafia in Italian or American film history.” Time
“...Garrone's film does nothing less than rebuild from the ground up one of the most exhausted of movie genres--the mob movie."
The Los Angeles Times
Based on Roberto Saviano’s explosive exposé on the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia, Matteo Garrone masterfully observes the mechanics of violence, intimidation, fear and ruthless opportunism that reaches into every business and household in Naples, and indeed far beyond Italy’s borders. Saviano now lives under permanent police protection.
