’s eponymous new film. The Italian director splashes his teaming, boisterous, unruly native city of Naples across the screen in fulsome fashion in telling the story of a man who left as a teenager but, some 40 years later, is drawn back into its sinister embrace.Largely unknown in the United States, Martone has made ten features over the past 30 years.
Since he last saw his mama, Felice has also converted to Islam, albeit of a mild variety. Finally exhibiting some guilt over the woman who brought him into the world, Felice finds her a better flat, but she shortly expires. Weirdly, then, it’s only after she’s gone that Felice decides it might be time to return to Naples full time, even though he’s already seen Camorra gangsters shooting things up on the street.
The deep dive into this specific urban milieu is gratifying; you can practically inhale the smells of the open markets, the garbage, the run-down buildings, the motorbike exhaust and, once and a while, the purer air of the churches. There remains, however, the mystery of Felice’s boyhood ties with the now-leader of the Camorra; even though the two were once best friends, there is lingering unfinished business that Felice might advisedly best leave alone.
