No less than Marty Scorsese helped distribute this grim intersection of five interlocking storylines about the Camorra, the Italian mafia arm located in the foothills of Naples and Caserta, and it's not hard to sort why. About as far as you can climb from the cuddly psychopaths populating such postmodern mafia sagas as The Sopranos, Gomorrah catalogs the unblinking violence of a crime syndicate still alive and well in the Old Country. More: director Matteo Garrone never glamorizes this world, casting a documentary-like lens on the concrete jungles and grim interiors where seduction and charisma play second fiddle to the basic human thirst for power.
