Year 2008

Directed by Matteo Garrone

Powerful, stripped to its very essence and featuring a spectacular cast (of mostly non-professionals), Matteo Garrone's sixth feature film "Gomorra" goes beyond Tarrantino's gratuitous violence and even Scorsese's Hollywood sensibility in depicting the everyday reality of organized crime's foot soldiers. The characters of the film's five stories all work for the Camorra - the Neapolitan "mafia" behind over 4,000 murders in 30 years in Italy, and countless illegal activities - and besides being extremely dangerous are relentless, petty and anything but wise.

"Gomorra" is one of the rare dramatic films to come out of Italy in recent years that has the appeal to play well theatrically, at least in Europe, and in festivals worldwide. In the U.S., it should play to the widest possible range of art house audiences looking for a thinking person's mafia movie.

At times slow and documentary-like, "Gomorra" is tension-filled and highly realistic. (Author and co-screenwriter Saviano, 29, has been under police escort even since the book was published.) Shot predominantly in Naples' Scampia neighborhood - an architectural nightmare of enormous rundown apartment blocks - the film never caters to those looking for the kind of adrenaline or over-the-top humor or glamor that's come to be associated with the genre.

Garrone neither judges nor idolizes in his sober approach, and restrains from too many other indulgences, artistic or formulaic, beyond handheld camera work and numerous close-ups. And the faces he chooses, predominantly people plucked from the streets on which he films, make most movie mafiosos look like models.

Even the film's soundtrack (Neapolitan pop music, sparingly used) adds to the overall feel of background rather than imposing a mood. Garrone also makes use of total silence and, rather than coming across as a manipulative film school trick, it only enhances particularly emotional scenes.

Story-Line: In 1964 London, Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels), is a member of a mod gang, well-dressed youths who ride Lambretta scooters.

Presentation Of European Cinema Review

Why did we choose to make an European Cinema Review?That is the question we asked of ourselves many times before starting this adventure and the answers are various and different:

1) to have the opportunity for us (we are a group of European Volunteers) to meet new people in a foreign country

2) to discover the cultures by watching Cinema: movies always show a story and inside the story there are different people with their personal backgrounds, traditions and experiences.

3) to take a look inside the history of different countries

4) to give a chance to everyone to enjoy the European Cinema in a world dominated by Hollywood Industry.

5) to have the opportunity to make other events with the people will meet in this adventure.

All the information about the review will be avaible on this blog and on Facebook (EuropeanCinemaReview group), if you have any question or suggestion do not hesitate to contact us!

Enjoy your Life!

De ce am ales sa facem European Cinema Review ,o seara a filmului european?Acesta este intrebarea pe care in mod retoric am folosit-o inainte de a incepe acesta aventura si raspunsurile sunt multiple si diferite:

1 .pentru ca noi (un grup de 11 voluntari straini )sa avem ocazia de a intalni lume noua intr-o tara straina

2.pentru a descoperi diferite culturi prin vizionarea de filme (filmele ne infatiseaza mereu o poveste si in spatele povestii sunt oameni diferiti , cu trecutul , traditiile si experientele lor )

3.pentru a face cunostinta pentru cateva moment cu istoria mai multor tari

4.pentru a oferi ocazia ca oamenii sa se bucure de filmele europene intr-o lume dominata de Hollywood

5.pentru a avea ocazia de a realiza si alte evenimente cu oamenii intalniti in aceasta aventura
