Gomorra

good italian crime drama

apparantly based on the very real and serious camorra gang. the film features 5 different stories that involve the gang and other insidious acts. the most interesing story in my opinion is the tailor who gets involved with chinese gangsters to teach. he goes from creating hollywood gowns to working as a trucker, to escape the gangster life. the film was made with a documentary style, using virtually no music. there is a lot of win in this film, and each story holds on its own. it gets a bit slow at times, but there is a lot of violence and nudity to break up the boredom. this film is far more powerful than most gangster films being made today.
