Plots(1)
This brutally raw fresco by director Matteo Garrone relates with incredible precision the ways in which the Neapolitan mafia branch known as the Camorra controls day-to-day life. The film takes us to the outskirts of northern Naples, once a modern development, now inhabited by a mix of people on the local bosses' payrolls and those who eagerly await the day that they, too, will be able to serve. It is a world where the only law is violence, the only value power, the only dream is money, and the only universal language the gun. The war of the clans is about dominating the markets for narcotics, hazardous waste, prostitution, and even the tourism and clothing industries. The film is based on a book by journalist Roberto Saviano which became an overnight bestseller in 2006. (Cinemax)
