Suburra: The Movie that Changed Italian Cinema Forever
Suburra, labeled as “the movie that changed Italian cinema forever,” is a must-see for cinephiles and fans of the genre. This gripping crime drama, directed by Stefano Sollima, is an adaptation of the novel by Giancarlo De Cataldo and Carlo Bonini.
The plot revolves around a mafia boss, known as Samurai, who seeks to turn Rome’s seaside neighborhood “Ostia” into an entertainment hub through his criminal activities. The story unfolds through the perspectives of various characters such as the politician Malgradi, Samurais’ henchman Numero 8, and Viola, a prostitute involved in the crime ring.
The movie has it all – power plays between politicians and gangsters, exploitation of disadvantaged communities for personal gain, murder plots that would make one’s hair stand on end – trust us when we say nothing is off-limits in Suburra.
The film features an all-star cast comprising Pierfrancesco Favino (Samurai), Elio Germano (Numero 8), Greta Scarano (Viola), Jean-Hugues Anglade (Cardinal Berchet), and Claudio Amendola (Freelance journalist).
Favino’s portrayal of Samurai is ruthless and charismatic – his performance alone makes the movie worth watching. Germano’s spell-binding performance as Numero 8 showcases his versatility as an actor.
Critics have lauded Suburra’s cinematography. The stunning visuals are exquisite yet gritty at the same time – perfectly capturing Rome’s dark underbelly. The use of color grading in certain scenes gives it a surreal feel that accentuates the story’s dark themes.
One haunting aspect of the movie is its soundtrack. The music serves to intensify the tension in crucial moments – whether it be a high-speed car chase or a suspenseful scene leading up to a murder.
Suburra was initially released as a movie in 2015 and later adapted into a Netflix series. The movie has gained critical acclaim globally for its gripping plot and stellar performances.
Suburra’s success has led to other Italian filmmakers being inspired to create their own crime dramas, ushering in a new wave of Italian cinema. Not to mention, it paved the way for the development of other Italian crime series like Gomorrah and ZeroZeroZero.
The film’s tagline “Before Rome fell, Rome was Suburra” serves as a warning indicating how Rome was once a great city, but it could fall if its corruption and criminal activities are left unchecked.
However, it may be more appropriate that the tagline is reversed – “Suburra is where Rome fell.” The movie portrays the vulnerabilities of the political system while showing the power play between politicians and organized crime in Italy. It leaves us thinking about how prevalent these societal issues are not only in Italy but worldwide.
In conclusion, Suburra remains an unforgettable watch. It is not for the faint-hearted – but for those who can handle gritty storylines with excellent performances from A-list actors. Whether you watch it in Italian or English dubbed versions, Suburra is an impressive feat of filmmaking that changed how we view Italian cinema forever.
