Anthony Lane reviews Gomorrah

Monday, 16th February 2009 permalink

Anthony Lane reviews “Gomorrah” in the current issue of the New Yorker: ‘the movie takes constant care, with a kind of appalled wonder, to survey the arenas of their mayhem. Don Ciro does the rounds of Scampia, a northern suburb of Naples, where people live and die in tower blocks that look like ruined ziggurats. Most of the camerawork is handheld, but now and then we pull back for a lofted view: a panorama as unruffled as an Andreas Gursky photograph.’
