A Cannes' insider states " Went to see it tonight, and there are definitely rough spots in the film. However, in the end it's imagery is etched into my brain and it IS uncompromising like few other movies in the world. And not because it is ugly but because of the vast beauty in ugliness when Trier is directing. This film will stand. It will be a favourite topic at media science at the university. And years from now, it will be a classic."

Sure enough, we’ve all seen James Brown and Michael Jackson drop incredible moves from the Popcorn to the Moonwalk. We’ve clocked Usher and experienced Voguing. We’ve seen Style WarsNicholas Brothers or the Berry Brothers or Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Fortunately, that’s about to change.
and witnessed the birth of breakin’ and poppin’ and lockin’. Online you can find cats crunkin’ in shopping malls but if deep old skool jazz is your bag you’ll have been limited to a couple of Hollywood film clips of the
Nicholas Brothers or the Berry Brothers or Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Fortunately, that’s about to change.

Listen Jeff Goldmsith mocking the Academy Motion pictures'Art&Sciences foreign pictures committee having riddled the italian movie  from the best foreign film oscar nominee ." The lamest thing ever he saw during the Award Season this Year".



"Furious and brilliant." - A.O. Scott, New York Times


Unsuprisingly,  Gomorah, an excellent filmed and documented movie picturing the street drug trade and illegal arms trafficking to high-fashion knockoffs and toxic waste carting  won " the Grand Prix" at Cannes.Garrone follows five separate tales of ordinary people in an extraordinarily dysfunctional place. The disparate stories of ambition, compromise, betrayal and deadly retribution coalesce into a scathing portrait of a society steeped in crime and corruption.
