  • Resumen

  • In this episode we discuss Matteo Garrone's 2008 adaptation of journalist Roberto Saviano 2006 book about the Naples mafia (Camorra). Russ talks about the way the book is adapted, dipping into the many activities of the Camorrah, from drugs to toxic waste disposal whilst also following younger characters aspiring to that lifestyle. We talk about the striking cinematography and lack of traditional soundtrack music, as such, contrasted with in scene pounding techno/dance. Garrone's casting of people familiar with the life they depict also gets a mention, plus the hopeful conclusion, at least for two of the characters.
