like lots of little sketches not really interlinking. Was quite disappointed

It's more a mosaic than a straight linear story. I found it extraordinarily well done. And because the stories were allowed to unfold within each other they all had more impact in the end.

I didn't think I would make it thru the movie the 1st time I saw it. Then I watched it for a 2nd time (after coming here to get some questions answered) and I enjoyed it very much. A very unique movie IMO.

Mosaic is the perfect word for it. Garrone is attempting to show how the Camorra pervade all levels of Neopolitan society.

@brunodutch -

Yep, that's it. The style is different, all right, but it isn't about character 'identification' or anything typical to Hollywood. This plays like a fragmented documentary. Notice, too, how the killings don't have the smallest ounce of glamour, or even a great deal of blood. It's just a tense, depressingly realistic drama to inform an audience, not necessarily to entertain.
