Gomorrah
STORY
Power, money and blood. These are the “values” the inhabitants of the Province of Naples and Caserta are up against every day.
Most of the time, you can’t choose, most of the time, you’re forced to obey the rules of the System, the Camorra (the criminal organization of the Campania Region), and only the more fortunate can hope to live a “normal” life.
Five stories intertwine in a violent scenario, a ruthless world, seemingly far from reality but deeply rooted in our land.
PRODUCTION NOTES
The material I used to film Gomorrah was so visually powerful that I decided to shoot it with extreme simplicity, as if I were a spectator that happened to be there by accident.
I believed this to be the most effective way to present the emotional experience I felt throughout the entire process of making the film.
