I read in previous comments on this page all my thoughts and feelings about Gomorra, it's very difficult to add more... Anyway I'd like to point out something about: this work of Art is halfway between neorealism and epic style, the extraordinary use of lessons taken by best cinema makers in the world, the long sequences recalled me Hitchkock, the "dollies" sequences recalled me Sergio Leone, the choice in acting recalled me Ken Loach, the sapience in using noises and music Stanley Kubrick, and definitely the light looks chosen by Rotunno and Visconti; everything makes a no doubt new original artist named "Matteo Garrone"! Even his springing was with the superb "L'Imbalsamatore". I can be not so sure the movie is telling just a "neapolitan" story, it tells the Italy's story, where the official life is to a level and the real life to another one. Coppola, De Palma, Scorsese wrote a first part, Garrone finished it. As an Italian I feel deeply ashamed for our industrial class so "glamoured" officially (the fashion as the first...) and in reality so involved with criminality. Gomorra is not a "denounce" movie, but a "constatation" movie.
