It would be high time to talk about the Camorra

I think so. I think the Camorra is a very serious problem. I am reading Gomorra, the book written by Neapolitan journalist Roberto Saviano.

Matteo Garrone's film version of Gomorra is in Cannes where it received unanimous appraisal. The film, written together with Saviano, was premiered in Casal de Principe where it was well received by the public. The two authors ony depict minor characters so as not to unintentionally glorify bosses. It shows the real power of the camorra within society rather than as an estranged organization.

Matteo Garrone has already made two acclaimed films, The Taxidermist and First Love. I wish them the best at Cannes. And do go see it.

Yes. I have read some critical feedback on "the image of Italy!".

There are several trailers on youtube of the film. I found this video very interesting. It contains the interview with the father of Sandokan that was used in Cappotto di Legno by the Almamegretta.  See my diary on Roberto Saviano and the song.
