Winner of the prestigious Grand Prize at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, Gomorrah is an electrifying and trailblazing new drama about an organized Italian crime empire known as the Camorra, one of the most feared and powerful criminal “enterprises” of the modern era.  

Interweaving a number of stories – all based on fact – about lives that have been touched by the organization’s brutality, corruption and staggeringly broad influence, Gomorrah is a dazzling, frequently shocking, critically acclaimed tour de force of innovative storytelling and searing emotional impact. Directed by the award-winning Italian filmmaker Matteo Garrone and presented in the USA by Martin Scorsese, Gomorrah was described by salon.com as “marvelous… a dynamite reinvention of the Italian Mafioso movie,” and by The Boston Herald as “the greatest Mafia movie ever made.”
