Napoli, Napoli, Napoli (2009)

Napoli, Napoli, Napoli plot

The Naples that Ferrara portrays is the Naples of Roberto Saviano's book Gomorrah, where the Camorra keeps the southern Italian city in an iron grip of crime, murder and manslaughter. Ferrara turns his gaze to the less fortunate Neapolitans. Like the female inmates of Pozzuoli Prison, whom he lets tell their stories in front of his camera. They are saddening testimonies of inability, violence, drug use and growing up without a chance in Naples' poorest neighbourhoods. There are laconic repeat offenders, who have adopted crime as a way of life, but also anxious, emotional women, who have lost brothers and fathers in the violent battle between crime and law. The aid workers and politicians that Ferrara also gives the floor to do their best, shuffling a few black people back and forth, but in the end they are barely able to intervene in the raw, mafia-woven Neapolitan reality.
