Directed by Abel Ferrara • 2009 • Italy
Starring Fabio Gargano, Shanyn Leigh, Peppe Lanzetta
Abel Ferrara takes his camera onto the streets of Naples, Italy, for this gritty journey through the city’s infamous underside. Combining interviews with women prisoners and local residents with scripted dramatic interludes, Ferrara blurs the boundaries between nonfiction and narrative to paint a hard-hitting portrait of a city shaped by poverty, organized crime, and institutional corruption. Breaking documentary conventions with typical fearlessness, Ferrara offers an at once unflinching and cautiously hopeful look at the people caught in the city’s cycle of violence and those trying to change it for the better.
