Camorra (sounds like and looks like the biblical city of the title) is an underworld organization based in Naples, Italy. It far out strips its Sicilian cousin, the Mafia, in global reach, profits and bloody violence. The story focuses not on the big shots who remain anonymous and respectable behind their impenetrable firewall, but on the bloodied and bloody orderlies who kill and die for a faceless organization. Here crime is business, efficient, driven by greed, and managed through fear. “The film is a curative for the romanticism of “The Godfather” and “Scarface” The final shot suggests that the Camorra is invested in the rebuilding of the World Trade Center. The film is based on fact, not fiction.” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times. Winner of the European film Award and the Grand Prize at Cannes 2008.
