Esperaba (en vano) una experiencia tan fuerte el año pasado de Estrictamente criminal y Legend. Ya veo que los italianos juegan a las cartas de la mafia en niveles diferentes a los británicos y estadounidenses. Un evento malvado menor, que conduce a un apocalipsis que engullirá y destruirá a todos. El sentimiento de impotencia, la imposibilidad de evitar ser atrapado en la red del crimen se convierte aquí en una furiosa locura. Suburra es una película de género, en Cannes no la celebrarían tanto como lo habían hecho con Gomorra de Garrone que era más del cine arte, pero es súper cautivadora y trabaja muy bien con los personajes. Personajes excelentemente interpretados. Los caminos de la historia son familiares en algunos momentos, pero nunca llegan a ser clichés. El uso de la banda sonora de los mayores éxitos de M83 es bizarro, y tal vez por eso es aún más impresionante. Y por ellos me decidí por la quinta estrella.

It’s an audio-visually over-stylized, soft-spoken, yet more than eloquent fresco about the dark side of the eternal city that manages a quantum of characters, unprecedented violence, and metaphorical parables. Some of the threads could still use an extra knot at the end, but it is still an intense and exhausting viewing experience in the best sense.

Every now and then, I watch something that leaves me speechless. I’m so bewitched – in a good way – that I’m completely smitten. I had this exact feeling after watching the contemporary gangster movie Suburra. The harsh fates of individual characters of different standings are connected by a monstrous construction of a future complex with a casino on the edge of Rome in such a precise way that I was dumbstruck. The directors have skillfully incorporated interesting characters into the vicious cycle of the mafia history and by doing so, they closed an important chapter of the contemporary Italian underground. Some of the scenes were more brutal, some of them less. But all of them were predominated by this disgusting loss of humanity that was always supported by a strange unearthly music of the French band M38 and it amplified the entire story, which felt as if it was happening on a different planet altogether.

A film blurring the boundaries between concepts such as power, corruption, the church, good intentions, the mafia, usurious gangs, politics, interests, small/large fish, money, etc. Sollima continues in a style he has already successfully used in the Gomorrah series, and so this Gordian knot of destinies from the far side of Rome on the other side of Rome leads confidently and in terms of style towards a complex criminal movie. In this respect it can't deny "gomorrah's roots "(whether book, serial or movie). Like the influence of the duo Tropa de Elite or The Wire. A well-thought-out script (perhaps only the indicated church line was unused and therefore pointless), the actors, the hypnotic camera and the Martinez’s soundtrack, all this is at the highest level. The fact that it is "only" a kind of pilot for the upcoming series. It is a crime series that is one of the best ever created in this genre in recent years. And in this genre department a lot of amazing staff have been done.

Weird movie. Nice stylization, amazing soundtrack (the best of the year!), wild sex and interesting narrative style, but there were a few things that bothered me. The running time is excessive, there is no main character, only supporting characters, and unless I have someone to root for, a movie can't keep me glued to my seat. Violence and action were also scarce here. A decent gangster flick. Probably not my cup of tea. 60%.

A modern mafia thriller that maps the operation of organized crime vertically across the social structure of contemporary Italy. From political and church leaders and powerful bosses to prostitutes and small-time crooks doing dirty work in the field. The only thing missing here is the counterbalance of the police and state institutions facing the mafia. The story is set in a world so deeply rooted in corruption and dirty deals that the competition within the underworld poses a much greater, if not the only, risk. Well-written and directed, it is a complex experience that is rarely seen. I have only one reservation: big predators are usually rightfully at the top of the food chain, whereas in Suburra, the nobodies triumph – and at least in one case, against the logic of the situation's development and against the nature of their personality. However, Suburra is seriously close to a five-star rating. Overall impression: 85%.

Phenomenal visual stylization, atmospheric soundtrack, or M83 as we like him best, and a precise portrayal of the underworld. All this in a gritty, uncompromising and strongly un-American delivery by the Italians, who know the mafia like few others. An interesting affair that is so pompous and self-aware that you can't take your eyes/ears off it. One of the films of the year, though it lacks an even sharper finale.

A confident European genre film that may not offer the cool heroes or the polished scripts of its classic overseas competitors, but it’s nonetheless an example of wildly essential modern filmmaking that ignores convention and serves up such an audiovisual feast that it fully fills every second of its 130-minute runtime. I enjoyed the relentless pace, the explicit sex scenes and the rather naturalistic and believable brutality, and I really liked the work with the non-native music, which paradoxically gave the film an even more distinctive character in some scenes. The story is spread out among a large cast of characters, not a single one of whom an average viewer of sound mind could sympathise with or root for, but the narrative is extremely consistent and the editor has done an excellent job. A very big surprise, our cinema has a new model in Europe, where creative inspiration doesn't mean complete sci-fi – at least so I wish... 85%

It's safe to say that this gangster film has one of the more conservative audiences, and one can admire Sollima’s fatalistic lyrical approach all the more for portraying a corrupt and crime-ridden environment as an inescapable microcosm where people from all walks of life come together, united by abandonment of moral and ethical values. There are no positive heroes here, in fact almost everyone here is granted a well-deserved punishment, and as such the film accesses the viewer primarily through its mood. To do this, it uses rather atypical techniques, with many scenes lacking spatial exposition, for example. Often a scene is opened with shots of seemingly unrelated activities that gradually build up the space in which the sequence will take place. Which works mainly because those scenes are much longer than usual and, despite that very mood-setting atmosphere, are quite procedural. A perfect example is the supermarket shootout, which is an episode that takes place over four floors of a department store, though its protagonists only meet in one of the shops at the beginning. The extreme long shots occupying the generally familiar interiors of the mall and the civilian victims here straddle that very line between the criminal world and the civilian world. The resulting shape then manages to retain its bankrupt mood despite the revenge finale, because however much evil was punished, it was still just the cog in an ever-turning wheel that, with only minor variations, will continue to function forever.

This is one of those films I find it hard to evaluate. I wouldn’t even dream of criticizing the film for a lack of quality filmmaking. It was definitely there, the problem was that the first hour was mind-numbingly boring and soporific. I also didn’t learn anything new - gypsies and politicians are the same everywhere and prostitution is a dangerous profession. I just had to write this down: "So if you don't go away now, I'll chop your leg off, put it in the fridge and return it when you bring me the money.” All right then.

Stefano Sollima seems born for this genre! After the intense Sicario 2, I was eager for this Italian gangster film, where no one is spared or handled with kid gloves. As a viewer, you need to accept that the film starts off quite slowly, but don't let that deter you—it gradually picks up significant momentum. The film doesn’t shy away from showing corruption in various social circles, whether it’s political figures or high-ranking church officials. The acting is quite strong, and it's hard to pick one character that stands out above the others. The soundtrack is phenomenal; I really didn’t expect such an excellent musical accompaniment. Sollima also deserves credit for successfully tying up all the storylines—the ending was delicious. If the pace had been a bit faster in the first half, I would rate it higher. But within Europe, I personally consider it among the top of its genre; the composition of image and sound leaves most of the competition miles behind. 8/10
