Naples = Gomorrah

Gomorrah opens today at IFC to critical praise.

Matteo Garrone's latest film depicts Naples as a modern-day Gomorrah. Through the lives of five separate characters, he shows how the Italian city is so ridden with organized crime, drugs, greed, and environmental abuse (read: sin) that it is destroying itself. No fire and brimstone necessary from God when man is so bent on self-destruction.
