wanted: gomorrah

Gomarrah
directed by Matteo Garrone, 2009
Available November 24, 2009
Criterion Collection

"Gomorrah" is a great film on many levels, if not solely for its perfect opening and closing scenes. Everything else in between is pretty good too, but the violent opening and closing moments are some of the most beautifully cinematic and chilling scenes I've seen all year. This is high on my list of gifts I'd like to find under the tree this year.
