Gomorrah (15)

Brutal yet compelling portrait of life in suburban Naples, where a local mob called the Camorra uses fear and violence to exert a choking hold over the locals. Adapted from Roberto Saviano’s bestseller, the film interweaves several plot strands, concentrating in part on a lowly tailor who discovers that hoping for better can sometimes get you killed, and two trigger-happy youths who try to break into the big league but realise too late that they are out of their depth.
